Right now we have Chinese government controlled corporations buying up ag land especially surrounding military installations. They already own Smithfield meat packers and would like to control our food supply. It’s ludicrous that we let them have any stock in our supply chains.
I worked with an old lady, she was amazing. She retired like in he mid 70's...
Different people have different opinions of "woke". Seems like a lot of people are just looking for ways to attack teachers.
I don't think it happens all that much but what I do think happens is that the super crazy teachers on either side, will be super vocal about it on social media so then it becomes 'a thing"
of course not. you’re incapable of this.
There is no either side, only one side. Public school teachers and teachers unions are overwhelmingly left leaning. There are obviously exceptions. You sound like one of the good ones.
No, parent's can be major league jackwads and taxpayers too. Ever been to a sports event? Those parents are insufferable at times and their kids also go to school.
No they aren't. I don't work at a public school.
My issue lies when you have parents who don't even vote for school board members and have never been a part of the process and all the sudden are nitpicking what goes on at school. All because they got riled up on social media about something halfway across the country. Now, after the kid has been in school for 7 years, the parents all the sudden care. Give me a break.
Ugggg, I wish! They don't have any current openings!
Perfect example. Everyone complains about the coach and can do better. From 2nd grade up. But amazingly no one steps up to do it themselves. Coaching for 3 hours a week is humbling. I can't imagine trying to teach all day.
Since it doesn't apply to me, I'm not going to check and see. At any rate, it should be deductible especially since the self employed are taking all the financial risk compared to the typical employee.
Self-Employment Tax per IRS website
An even more straight line in private schools from parents’ wallets to yours
I don't teach anymore, but I would have loved if parents were more involved. Where I taught, they didn't give a crap one way or another.
Public school staff reflect the communities in which they are located most if the time.
Yes. In the big school where I taught, we had one crazy on each side. There were probably more, but they kept it to themselves as they should. The lib lady was insane...I think she was just miserable in general. The conservative dude was a really awesome guy and teacher, but went way over the line one time with students (politically).
You won’t save taxes overall with a Roth IF you project a tax rate equal to or lower than your current tax rate. It’s only tax advantageous IF your tax rate in retirement is higher than your current rate. Everything else being equal.
Some might. Many charters and privates do not require staff to have the credentials required for public schools. And...there is intense competition for students even between rural public schools. If you lose, shit gets ugly.
Agree. And I still think it's great from a diversity standpoint. Luckily I started mine really early, so I got the full tax benefit.
First of all HBK, you're a really good dude, so I think I can offer you a suggestion, and I even thought about posting this since yesterday cause far be it from me to ever tell anyone what they should do. I only offer this as a "suggestion."
The school shuts down. We have to have enrollment and we have to compete against all the other private schools and public schools to get as many students as we can.
Great. A schedule A deduction that’s limited by your income. So in reality it’s a fraction of the 7.65% that the “Deduction” saves you. It’s ridiculous. It should be a tax credit and not a deduction. I don’t manually calculate my self employment tax. My software does that and I guarantee you that the 7.65% deduction doesn’t end up near equaling 7.65% when the calculation is done. It’s similar I believe to deducting property tax. Yeah you can deduct it but then the total allowable is limited and your household AGI affects schedule A.
Sounds about right.
Great question. In Nebraska, and I assume it is this way in other rural areas, the number of school districts has fallen tremendously over the past 100 years. There's half as many districts as there were even 30 years ago. They have consolidated, in most cases.
Were you abused by your gym teacher? Can't wait to hear your big dick shit reply!
