'Teenagers Shouldn't Need Babysitters'

A look at the day's comments from Patch account holders in the region.

"New Cannan police did the right thing. Arresting a bunch of kids is a poor use of their time and the courts. They let the parents handle it which is how it should be and how it was when I was a teen. Everything doesn't have to involve going to court st that age" -

"At least Mr Biden didn't marry his cousin, then married again, cheated on her, then married another bimbo. Is he still cross dressing?" -

 

"It is an issue when someone with hundreds of millions of dollars to throw around, would even consider the absurdity of cutting the MINIMUM wage of our hard working poor citizens." -

"People please. As soon as you leave your driveway, you are surrounded by idiots. You can use all the devices described above and guess what, an idiot will disregard them." -

"The kids have nothing to do so kill each other? Teenagers shouldn't need babysitters and to be kept entertained." -

"'You as a citizen will obey the laws of our country or be prepared to pay the penalty for its violation. ' 'You WILL observe the laws that have been created for societies benefit.' Add a German accent to that and it faintly reminds me of a certain German dictator....." -

"Jim have you ever eaten a chick-fil-a sandwich? They are pretty delicious :) I really don't get it. Would everyone really be happier if nobody ate there again, they closed all the restaurants, and that many more people were out of work?" -

"I haven't seen anone trying to sell magazines, but several denominations have rung the bell peddling salvation." -

g, Let's throw out some more numbers... Here is a site to look at:Read More http://www.sde.ct.gov/sde/lib/sde/PDF/dgm/report1/basiccon.pdf This is the Connecticut State Department of Education Bureau of Grants Management spreadsheet. It shows and compares what Danbury is paying per student compared to the rest of the state. Looking at the numbers, out of the 170+ districts in the state, Danbury pays the 8th LEAST amount per pupil. Out of the 10 districts in Connecticut that have over 10,000 students, Danbury ranks 2nd LOWEST in the state. This amount is about $3,000 less per pupil than the average of the state and the average of districts with 10,000+ students.

Good afternoon Jessica, Danbury plans to spend approximately $114,000,000 on teaching staff salaryRead More and benefits for the next school year per the school budget here - http://www.danbury.k12.ct.us/bbadmin/Budget/2012-2013%20budget.pdf the total budget is $121,000,000. Teachers, administrators, contracted professionals, staff enrichment programs, staff insurance, and the rest comprise about 95% of the school system budget. See staff cost summary on page 8 of the report. You'll also note our board of education plans to spend a bit more than 3 million dollars on supplies and materials plus a million on equipment. The budget represents a 5% increase from the prior year. On our district home page - http://www.danbury.k12.ct.us/ it says Danbury has 10,300 my calculator tells me that's about $12,000 per child in the district. With $12,000 per child, why are teachers paying for supplies? Hmm ... let me think ... 95% of the budget goes to staff salary and benefits for the long 185 day year .... I have a guess where the money goes. Do you?
