To the Chamber of Commerce. We all want quality teachers. This bill will do just the opposite. No teacher in their right mind would come to work in Florida on a 5 year probabtion and then an annual contract. This state will be a cess pool of underqualified left over teachers. Don't we all pay a role in the scores of our schools: student, teacher, family, and community. Why single out one group as "the reason" You end of the year tests are going to be as much of a joke as the FCAT is. Other states look at Florida and shake their heads at the idiots who are funding education. Present teachers are doing a phenomenal job with the poorest funding in the nation. If the Chamber of Commerce supports this bill I will personally and also urge others to not use or frequent your businesses, unless of course as a member of the community you can demonstrate clearly your role in test scores and base your salary on this piece of information--Please get real. posted Sunday, April 4th 2010 at 18:33pm by Rochelle C
Please consider the years of hard working service these state employees have given to the state of
Florida. We dont need to balance the budget on their backs. They deserve a fully paid retirement.
Not 5% taken out at the end of their service. posted Thursday, February 10th 2011 at 15:06pm by Vivian G
Re: FRS- Maybe we should start a voter initiative to remove elected officials from FRS, after all, in the "real world" part-timers don't get any benefits, so why should they? posted Wednesday, March 2nd 2011 at 19:33pm by Russell C
