poisonwood's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- loss of job I have a lot of sympathy for the woman who wrote the following letter to the local Times: Out with the new, in with the old I've heard many teachers are opposed to performance-linked pay. This is ridiculous to me. Of course pay should be performance-linked! And of course the methods used for evaluation won't be 100% fair - but life isn't fair, and judging who gets fired based on experience only, and how much people get paid also on experience is crazy. 6:59 p.m. - May. 11, 2009 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the news The local media went into a frenzy when a local supposedly died of sw*ine flu. It's been all over the news, including interrupting regular TV shows to alert the citizen lest they need to pack their bags and quickly leave the state. Now, apparently the family of the deceased is insisting that he didn't die of sw*ine flu. Fun. And this. What a messed up story. I always have sympathy for the teen mothers, no matter what they've done. The media line is one of shock and horror - how could a mother kill her child?? To me, the answer is obvious. Fear, shock and trauma. 8:36 a.m. - May. 11, 2009 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
