If you marry, you lose them all. Do you understand what that and thats not just wisconsin. Its in every state. Its more in some states. You know what that means . That government prohibits, makes it economically infeasible for single moms to marry. It makes it a bridge too far. Because its economically impossible to make it work. And the same thing with work. You heard all the talk about obamacare how its a disincentive to work because the more you work the less your subsidies get. Look at all the welfare programs. Every single one of them, the more you work the lower your benefits get. We have a government right now that is fixated on keeping people unmarrie

In the Perfect World right now all the rules are set to contain bad behavior. That is what all the rules are set for, as opposed to flourishing of best practices. Lets say that mrs. Soandso is an amazing teacher. She should be able to teach first one up to get to assistant principal. Everything should be flourishing. That has been proven to cause retention and School Achievement to go way up. It is not actually the things we think it is. Why do you think that why do we think they are motivated by pay more than us . Some of the most unselfish people out there working. After certain necessities, that is not a motivating factor. It is success, being heard, all the things that would motivate us. This conversation about tenure is confusing to me. Them how to be navy seals, and then hold them accountable. Then give them whatever they want, tenure and all of that. What c

If you pray like me and eat like me, if you go to the same church that i do, then you are asked and if you dont then you are then.
