Raise Salaries or Lower the Bar?

Filosofa's Word

So, it seems some people have decided that ‘too much’ education is a bad thing.  Imagine, if you will, that your state has a shortage of teachers.  Your state also has the lowest wages for teachers in the nation.  Now, the common-sense solution here is to offer incentives to qualified teachers, raise the salaries to be competitive, right?  Well, Arizona has decided to go a different route – lower the requirements for becoming a teacher!  An excerpt from an article in Salon

“Last week, just days after the Arizona legislature passed the most expansive school voucher law anywhere in the nation, Gov. Doug Ducey signed into law another education measure decreeing that public school teachers are no longer required to have a college degree of any kind before being hired. Arizona teachers will only have to be enrolled in college in order to begin teaching the state’s public school…

The Hard Labor That Fuels the Hair Trade – SAPIENS

A person wearing a colorful dress and green bracelets sits on the ground and holds up a fistful of matted, dark hair.

Women in low-income households gather and keep this hair to sell to hair collectors. A 500-gram hair ball, for example, which may represent one to three days’ collected combings, might yield 500 rupees (about US$7). The buyer pays half upfront and promises the rest if the seller returns in the future with more hair. That amount could help a woman buy not only cheap housewares, such as a plate or spoons, which she can trade later, but also a day’s worth of milk and vegetables.

Families collecting comb waste in Nagpur and elsewhere in India have a hand-to-mouth existence with their meager earnings. Little do they know that the hair they sell takes on another life once it passes out of their hands, potentially gaining immense value as it travels the supply chain.

Grow, live, and love again

Raffaello Palandri's Blog

You can forgive yourself, get rid of the burden of your pain, and bring with you the lessons from the past. Then, you can start growing again, living again, and loving again.

It’s not easy, I know, as I was there, too.

Yet, once I become aware of the negative effects of the pain, I chose not to carry any longer this burden.

From that moment, having learned the lessons, I started again to grow, live, and love.

And you? Are you still carrying the burden of the past?

Conhecimento

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Quanto mais ” cordeirinhos” formos na forma de ser e de pensar, mais fascinantes nos tornamos para um mundo que nos limita. A regra não muda, foi e é assim durante séculos.
Muitos daqueles tiveram conhecimento, e de alguma forma, usaram parte deste, para fazer aqueles que não tinham “despertar” foram parar na fogueira, perderam sua vida na floresta, no campo e em muitas outras situações. As lutas são intermináveis. O fascínio pelo poder, é grande. E o
básico, certamente, nós ” os cordeirinhos” sabemos. Porém, a atenção deve está sempre voltada ao perigo. É preciso compreender questões de diferentes tipos para não nos tornarmos tão alienados diante de tudo que nos ofertam, e desta forma, sair obedecendo tudo quanto é ordem. Se formos sempre na direção do que os outros dizem, sem questionar, sem saber o porquê de tomar aquela direção, sem lidar com a realidade, certamente, estamos dando…
