The ISTA did not send it to me. An individual forwarded me the email they had received from the ISTA. Sorry that I did not make that clear enough.

I recently received a copy of the following email from the ISTA that apparently was sent to government school teachers throughout the state: Typical. There has never been a pile of money that liberals, and now a growing number of conservatives, want to poach for fulfill their own agenda. How much does the ISTA want to take, 25%, 50%, 75% of the current state reserves? If this poaching happens and the next economic downturn/recession hits (and it is not a question of if but of when) the state will have to significantly hike income and other taxes due to the state cash reserves being so depleted. Then the government school teachers will be back to square one, their precious wage increase eaten up by new taxes, but now the rest of the wage earners in the state will have to also feel that pain due to their avarice.

And I call bullshit on your bullshit TD. The exact reason why an individual may not want to "thank the troops" is due to the way the federal government is being controlled by the military-industrial complex. You continue to keep your rat's red butt up in the air and your head in the sand. And I've changed no topic, and continue to "stand tall" when it comes to what I've posted. Just because you immediately become personally butt hurt when anybody dares to criticize any aspect of the U.S. Military is your personality flaw, not mine. And your voluminous amount of hot air is the exact same temperature as mine, friend.

Incorrect, Dante. There is approx. $1.5 trillion in federal student loan debt vs. $119 billion in private loans: https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/education-postsecondary/reports/2019/06/12/470893/addressing-1-5-trillion-federal-student-loan-debt/ And it was one of your liberal heroes, Mr. Obama, that helped to create this mess of debt: https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/obama-created-student-loan-crisis-with-1-trillion-in-loans/

Ughh. I won't drink this "beer" but I can see being a staple at tailgates:

By all means TD, tells us about the huge daily physical demands of your current career. I hope you can avoid injuries like hemorrhoids. And I have explained thoroughly my issues with the current administration of the U.S. Military and what it is used for worldwide. If you don't believe any of that has one bit of truth to it then frankly you are blinded by nationalism and the booyah! hyper macho culture still present in today's U.S. Military.

https://www.jamesgmartin.center/2019/11/how-colleges-have-made-students-poorer-and-undereducated/ Yep, it's clear the huge expansion of the "free and easy" federal student loan program started this mess, and there is no end in sight.

This Ohio Bill Gives Students Religious Exemptions for Facts: https://gizmodo.com/this-ohio-bill-gives-students-religious-exemptions-for-1839878738 Yet another example of why government, and the fickle politics that come with it, should get out of the K-12 educations business entirely. This is shameful legislation.

Not a cocktail person really. Got any good beer?

There are frequently exceptions for those kind of things among the upper and upper middle classes, are there not?

Sounds like an Adonis among us regular males. Sometimes my 'work week' extends into Saturday/Sunday, depends on the project. And I get paid by the project, so my hours aren't always 7am-5pm either. Sounds like somebody else needs to get a clue about someone or the world they live in..........................

I can only imagine. Is alcohol allowed on the premises?

Sounds about on par for an Indianapolis doughnut county, urban sprawl based, government school. Probably pretty expensive as well.

Impressive. What exactly is his current job/rank/position in the U.S. military? I also assume he is posted at a military facility where geography like mountains, snowfields, and 38F water are just down the road? 7 days a week? No, in fact this weekend I hope not to touch a computer at all.

Why some Indiana school districts aren't closing for Red for Ed Action Day: https://www.indystar.com/story/news/education/2019/11/15/red-ed-action-day-nearly-200-districts-across-indiana-stay-open/4179424002/ Sounds like there are at least few government school districts out there that are sticking to the principles/mandate/mission statement.

Why would you most likely be dead?

No. Would you?

I seriously doubt that: https://compass.doe.in.gov/dashboard/overview.aspx?type=corp&id=3115 https://compass.doe.in.gov/dashboard/overview.aspx?type=corp&id=1170

Does New Palestine have an Applebees? In order to be "on the map" you have to have at least an Applebees within the city limits.

So you are saying your son performs at least one of those physicals feats on a regular, says weekly or monthly, basis in his current position? That it unfortunately has become more of a tool of the military-industrial complex, protecting their corporate interests around the globe, than a primarily defensive force? Yeah, if that opinion is also an 'agenda' then I guess you are correct. Reminds me of this little 'meme' I came across recently:

Not talking about game film. I'm talking about spies getting the dirt on these so-called "secret plays/schemes" by watching practices. Is this unethical or illegal behavior?

Do you think the New Palestine football program has sent spies to watch Cathedral practices? Or vice versa?

Now I get it. Thank you for the enlightening information. You create "secret plays/schemes" for the big name opponents on your schedule, run JV/Junior High stuff against the weaklings on your schedule. Kind of like Andre pulling out all the tricks when wrestling the likes of Hulk Hogan, but basically resting on his laurels while wrestling run-of-the-mill scrubs.

So "secret" means only practice these special plays/schemes, don't use them in a game until it is against a certain opponent at a certain time. Got it. Sounds legit, unless of course a spy from the other program shows up and watches your practices.................
