Teachers Gone Wild – Female Teachers in Sex Cases

Wednesday, June 6th, 2012

Let’s face it. The fact that it is very difficult or impossible to fire really bad teachers is a black eye for all educators. Even if you can get rid of a bad apple, it will probably come at a high cost to the tax payers. Here are stories from this week’s (6/4/2012) newspapers on the subject. Finding more would be easy. I think this is one area were teacher’s unions could gain support if they give up some control.

What Everyone Needs to Know About Retirement Expenses in Ten Minutes by Geoff Schmidt

Free Resources for Busy Parents and Educators Who Don’t Have as Much Time to Read and Surf as I Do

Transportation
Unlike my typical post, here I focus on the costs that go up and down when someone retires. I suspect that many of my readers are near retirement age, so this should be of interest. Geoff Schmidt does a great job of spelling out which costs are likely to go up and down. Even if you are not close to retirement, these two short videos are worth a watch. Thanks, Geoff. I’ve also included a quote and some cool Viking music.


Seven Expenses That Go Down in Retirement | Includes Averages It also discusses the typical savings for many of these expense items.


Ten Expenses That GO UP in Retirement – Yes, I not all savings for most folks. If you are getting ready to retire you also need to know what might get more expensive.
