** Heh! Heh! It probably meant going to a full 6 1/2 hour day. Keep in mind they still would get 185 days off each year - Boo Hoo!!. ** State of the Nation By: John Derbyshire The Corner This headline brightened up my breakfast: <<< Unionized Rhode Island Teachers Refuse To Work 25 Minutes More Per Day, So Town Fires All Of Them >>> Yeee-HAH! The teachers at the high school make $70,000-$78,000, as compared to a median income in the town of $22,000. This exemplifies a nationwide trend in which public sector workers make far more than their private-sector counterparts (with better benefits). The town is Central Falls, Rhode Island, pop. 19,000. <<< School Supt. Frances Gallo notified the state that she was switching to an alternative she was hoping to avoid: firing the entire staff at Central Falls High School. In total, about 100 teachers, administrators and assistants will lose their jobs. >>> Is there any national-policy angle to the story? No, none at all. Absolutely not. Don't even think about it. Just keep moving along, please. corner.nationalreview.com
