Obama to Lift Chicago School Teachers to Become Millionaires?

With the Chicago public school teachers on strike seeking to get a base pay of $91,000 a year President Obama's plan to redistribute middle class tax dollars to hire more school teachers seems to be gaining local traction. The teachers realized that they might also become millionaires before retirement if they could save about half of their salary if it approaches one hundred thou annually.

It is possible I suppose for a school teacher to live on canned beenie weenies and raman noodles with crackers and perhaps buy some kind of cheap van and live in that near a McDonalds for the toilet and save even more for a few years to walk away with enough to buy a condo in Santo Domingo and enjoy the beach. I should write something here about raman noodles.

I have made a discovery that could alter the fundamental way one looks at raman noodles of the common sort with a beef flavor packet. Just cook the noodles in plain water, throw out the water (or save it if in a desert in a used pop bottle) and then slowly add the flavor packet tossing the noodles to mix thoroughly. Its really much better than with the beef forming a kind of broth. It reminds me of chinese fired rice actually and one doesn't get the scoots if on that poor diet.

That reminds me of one other idea about this idea derived from experience buying oriental raman noodles where one throws out the water and adds three different flavor packets (and they are cheaper too); one could produce a pork fried rice flavor packet to add to boiled minute rice and have instant Chinese pork fried rice to which one might add a diced fried egg and sliced chives if really in the money.

Oh yes, the Chicago school teachers strike. The President may help the teachers realize their greatest aspirations of becoming millionaires. If teachers of 4th graders can't become millionaires what is the nation becoming- anti-intellectual?

It may be possible to use ground piping and insulation to lower the temperatures in badly designed school buildings instead of just adding expensive air-conditioning. I suppose they should contact Amory Lovins or someone like that for leads. The schools must have some plain cooling dirt someplace below the funkie structures.

In the meantime Chicago students might evolve a contest to invent the cheapest and most effective way to deliver Barnes and Noble nooks to students and independent study classes that could be done outside schools with perhaps in-class testing. Perhaps independent study class room nooks designed for quiet safe independent study could be designed without teachers present to better automate the student learning support agenda. One would think that with a 30% savings in cutting out superfluous and dubious extra Chicago school teachers and moving toward a better safer 50% mix of independent study through the student nook program the students might be better able to survive the uncertainties of wildcat union strikes demanding tens of thousands of dollars more now and then to appear.
