It is nowhere close to the average. Colleges in cities with much lower COL offer much higher wages.

If you had said 22k or so was close to the average, that'd be correct. 19 is definitely underpaid. And offensively so for a major city. And post-Covid, the average has ticked up, though not as much as it should have.

I don't know, but they're not employees

Nah dude the life we live is not meant for the faint of heart. You must adapt your abilities before it’s too late. Good luck.

>Our kids need to be able to learn to think for themselves and not be told how to think and feel.

That's funny coming from the type of parents who file these lawsuits.

And they don't want morality taught in school yet they want the bible taught. I'm just confused. lol

​

Edited to add something

But teaching kindness, compassion, empathy, honesty, etc is biblical lol It's the actual teaching of Christ. It's a shame I know that and yet I am not Christian, but then again I have actually read the bible unlike them.

Thank you!

Exactly, that's why we need to be opposed as a block against the rapacious and unchecked extraction of surplus value that the capitalists steal from us workers every minute of every day.

I wish I could give you an award but I'm broke

Thanks! I’d never heard of it but it looks fun!

There is a change.org petition that enumerates some of the parents' specific complaints, although it fails to go into detail.

I got a mega deal one summer by purchasing an absurd quantity of Pure Leaf iced tea. Not sure if they've ever done it again.

Yes!! Iirc they also make it easier to bring your own food, which helps tremendously with costs.

Bc they see it as indoctrination. To subvert with "liberal biases". "I don't want my kid to have empathy towards some queer kid!". It's fucking sad man.

If you’d get the king size pass, you get 2 free park tickets and it includes parking.

SEL Competencies

• Social awareness
• Relationship skills
• Responsible decision-making.

They didn't even have to read past the first one to get hopping mad. Apparently we've created machines that are now more self-aware than conservatives -- probably make better parents too.

I mean, reading is huge so it depends. Cotton Street? Absolutely not. West Reading/Penn Avenue/Wyomissing/Exeter, absolutely.

Important part of the article.

“In accordance with Pennsylvania law, those TUGSA members who have
chosen not to work are no longer entitled to their compensation and
work-related benefits, which include tuition remission, when they are on
strike and not performing work for the university,” the school said in a
statement. “Because striking workers are not entitled to tuition
remission, they have been notified of their obligation to make
arrangements to pay their tuition, consistent with how the university
treats other students who have unpaid tuition obligations.”

​

I'm sure the TUGSA knew of the actions Temple could take if they went on strike and included that in the calculus. It's probably work out in their favor because of the bad press the University will get over this.

I'd go for Gladwyne, Villanova, Berwyn, Merion Station, or Chester Springs if I were you.

Tuition remission isn’t exactly payment though. I personally would not have gone to grad school at all if I didn’t get 50% off my tuition for being a grad assistant. The actual pay would maybe cover books for a semester.

What I would like to know is whether Temple is violating labor laws by retaliating against striking workers.

Let me guess who that includes: Black, Asian, Hispanic, addicts, gays, trans, homeless, poor, disabled.

Am I forgetting anyone?

Agreed that Knoebels will get you more for your buck. It's also dog friendly, if that's a plus for you. I believe Weis also has discounted tickets for DelGrosso amusement park and water park in Tipton (north of Altoona), although I'm unsure if that's good for younger kids. If none of this is helpful, my bad!

if you want your kid to turn in to an idiotic, hate-filled asshole, like you, then home school them or send them to whatever cult school you like. This is a public school, for everyone.

Cancel student athletes? What does that even mean in your head?

Beautiful

This!
