teachers
pay tens of thousands of dollars to become a teacher
help parents and students who care about their education achieve more
ensure total safety for our children
provide our children with high quality education
grade fairly
protect them from bullies
use their own money to buy things that will help our kids learn
do not use the language that our kids use
help kids who are disruptions while keeping others on task
plan properly
pay attention to every student 100% of the time
keep each and every one of our children engaged and focused on learning 100% of the time
help the students who really want to excel become the best that they can be
help the students who are in school to socialize and visit with friends achieve local state and federal standards.
live and work by a long code of ethics
do not spank or correct our children even with our supervision
one spanking with a paddle was all it took for me to not ever deserve one of those in school again
take attendance
stop others from disrupting our childrens' learning
deal with some angry parents
live and provide for their families with a pay raise that does not even match the rate of inflation over the last couple of terms
work often times until late in the evening without any normal or overtime pay
take kids on academic and sporting events while assuring their complete safety day and night
help kids achieve who miss a lot of school
and this is just scratching the surface
perform a job that is never ending... there is no such thing as 9-5, there is always something else that needs to be done
one assignment multiplied by 120 kids a day multiplied by one week, one month, one year.
and this is just scratching the surface here because they do care about our kids

Our schools and teachers do an excellent job of educating our children. I hear a vocal few just slamming our education system. It sounds like you need to remove your kids from school and home school them. Mine will stay in school because the system, and their teachers are doing an excellent job. Its called teamwork... parents, kids, and teachers working together.

James... look in the mirror before you say or write anything. Take a good hard long look before you say something bad about other people.

THE 10% IS NOT A PAY INCREASE, ITS A REDUCTION IN THE AMOUNT THE TEACHERS ARE FORCED TO PAY IN HEALTH CARE. The Fairbanks teachers did not see a pay increase last time either. The teachers are required and asked to perform an incredible amount of duties throughout the year. Often times they work well into the evening because they care about the students.
Does Fairbanks value it's teachers?

The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) has been restricting commercial fishing for King Salmon at the mouth of the mighty Yukon river every year since 1980 explaining its for the future... the future is now. When will we be able to fish again? Commercial fishing for king salmon is the only source of income for many of the people in the villages. Last summer the seven villages involved in this fishery were limited to three very short commercial periods of six (6) hours each and we caught 30,000 kings during what the ADF&G consider a lull in the Chinook run? ADF&G waits for lulls to occur before they allow fishing in order to allow for more escapement which is sensible. Lets say the King Salmon run is only one month long, a shorter 30 day month. 18 hours = 30,000 Chinook, 720 hours = how many chinook? Let the people earn some kind of money to provide milk and bread for their kids. Allow them to earn money for gasoline and the other essentials needed to hunt fish and gather throughout the year. Do not even consider opening a summer chum season as a boat load of chum at 5 cents a pound does not even pay for the gas needed for that one fishing trip. ADF&G needs to understand that the people at the mouth need to be allowed to fish for King. During the last thirty years the ADF&G have relied on a sonar based in Pilot Station which has often times been covered with mud and silt. How accurate is that? How can you determine which of the millions of fish is king and which is sheefish or chum or coho? Put something in the river and watch how quickly it gets covered with silt. That is how river systems work. The water from upriver carries sand, mud and silt down river and deposits it along the way,and also in the alluvial fan at the mouth. ADF&G's sonar is not an accurate means of measurement and neither are their test nets. Often times I drive by and witness their test nets in poor locations, under much current. How can a fish get caught in a test gillnet which is used to determine numbers of Chinook under so much stress? Sometimes the test nets are straight up and down the river. How can a net catch much of anything like that? I am frustrated that I, and my people are not being allowed to fish for kings. I look around and I wonder how many of them will be able to provide for their families without a commercial King salmon season.
