We do not enjoy the same protections as the teachers and had to make a deal with the District, but again, no one seems to really care that the working poor just got poorer.

With what the district proposes paying us, any other district would love to have an award winning teacher. There are also other options for young talented teschers in the private sector. Corporations use teachers as trainers, textbook companies use their expertise as writers and sales consiltants and some choose to stay home with their kids because the stress and low pay are not cost effectective. Ramona lost two of its finest teachers to Escondido this year. We also lost a great principal. No doubt she considered a looming strike and difficult teacher relations during an unsettled contract when she decided to leave. Don't count on it J.D.

Ramona, you are cutting off you nose to spite your face if you believe that. It is not a scare tactic. It is truth. Ms. Ingalls put it very well. We all hate taxes, but passing a bond is the lesser of two evils. Let your home equity diminish or pay about a $1.00 a day to keep the equity of your house. Schools matter when it comes to home sales. Its one of the most important frequent questions young families ask when buy a home. What is the school district like? They go online and look at the reports for a school district before making such an important purchase. You should know, all of the top Ramona adminsitrators do not live in Ramona. They don't care about the value of our homes. Are we going to let them do this to us? People said poo poo to the idea of the bond affecting the value of our homes.

All three fresh, young, dynamic teachers. I have no doubt that there are plenty of "bright", passionate young teachers who would be willing to come to teach in Ramona.
