It’s because they have teachers that are illiterate dumb fucks.
Thanks to This Ain’t Hell for the pic.
Ah, our glorious public education system. Yeah, we’ll give you even more of your fucking blood money, you lecherous, fucking parasites, as soon as you can learn to spell e-a-t-m-y-d-i-n-g-l-e-b-e-r-r-i-e-s.
Absolute dumb-asses.
UPDATE My own dumb ass moment, fueled by Scotch, haste, and a bad day, and as so quickly pointed out by readerjp, I forgot the word “Wonder” in the original title. Irony is a sweet bitch, ain’t she?
I think you forgot to put the word “Wonder” after “You.” Kind of ironic. Put it in before someone takes a poke at you.
When I first started teaching High School I was recruited pretty heavily to join the local education union…..all new teachers are required to attend about a 3 hour meeting to entice you to join. I asked the union president why I should join, he mentioned nothing about benefits or pensions or health care….instead he sang about how the union would… Read more »
Eh.
The occasional dropping of a word in an internet posting is one thing (typing out your thoughts can be daunting especially when speed is a concern). Pooching the spelling on a homemade protest sign of an overpaid, overcompensated government propaganda drone is quite another.

At least I can blame the Scotch and a bad day. Thanks though, but I’ll think I’ll let the irony stand in all it’s drunken glory.
On second thought, it looks pretty Stoooopid, capital S, multiple ooooo. I’ll change it, with a notation of some sort.

*sigh* This is nothing. I have seen graduate-level papers that would boggle the mind. There was one where a guy was listing the various 20th century wars that the US had been in, with the various theaters, and presidents, e. g. Grenada, Reagan, and whatever general. On his list were Ulysses S. Grant, Chester A. Arthur, and Howard Taft. Despite… Read more »

Wow. One sign when compared to the hundreds of misspelled signs you see at tea party events. Here are a few good ones. I think that you will find misspelled signs every time you have people quickly throwing them together like this. The Tea Partiers aren’t being overpaid and given insane levels of benefits, bankrupting state budgets around the country… Read more »
Whoever they are…most of them, I’m sure, graduated from the public schools. So, all of the misspelled words are not surprising. Schools are more interested in kids’ self-esteem than whether or not they can spell.
The dumbing down of America continues apace.
Oh, and just one Gracie?
And, DJ, you are being disingenuous. There is a huge difference between older, retired, tea partiers and those in the business sector not knowing how to spell properly. Would YOU want a nurse who can’t spell properly making out your chart? How about a doctor? Of all the people who should be spelling correctly, teachers should be first and foremost.… Read more »

This isn’t about the Tea party or their signs. This is about teachers, with all of their overinflated pay scale and ridiculous amount of benefits who can’t even get basic grammar and spelling correct.

Shrewd collective bargainers, Milwaukee teachers get 74.2 cents in benefits for every $1 in pay, triple the average for private-sector workers, writes Robert Costrell in the Wall Street Journal. The average teacher earns $56,500 in pay and costs the district another $44,000 in health and pension benefits. Like many other Wisconsin school districts, Milwaukee agreed to buy health insurance from… Read more »
Oops, my brain is lagging today due to the illness.
I meant to say why would they agree to buy the health insurnace from the teachers union because it was part of the collective bargaining agreement.

No one else noticed,, ‘natch.
Here’s an article that puts the numbers in place regarding salaries of teachers in WI

Average teacher’s salaries are NOT all that high. Especially when you compare it to median wages in each state. I call BULLSHIT! In Oklahoma, in nearly every school district, the teacher’s salaries are higher than the median income in the district. The information is available in Oklahoma at schoolreportcard.org. The website is run by the state’s Department of Education. If… Read more »

14,000 public school teachers – NOT administrators – in the state of Illinois were pulling in $100,000 or more in BASE SALARY, excluding benefits and pensions, in 2010.
That’s just in one state.

As you can see, if you took a look at that Excel spreadsheet, when they claimed around 14,000 teachers in the state of Illinois were pulling in over 100,000 a year in base salary, they weren’t kidding.
