why were they denied their paychecks??? goes to google

i don't get it. we are one of the richest countries in the world yet we can't budget properly and make education a priority? Obviously we need BETTER educated people. this country sometimes.......

honestly i don't think any teacher should be allowed to be evicted...and they can't really evict just after being late one month

and she COULD fight this and would most likely win

i know people need to make money (landlords) but there should be some understanding here

i mean i can understand if it were a few months behind but one?

i'd fight it, and be like TAKE ME TO COURT BITCHES

put more spotlight on the problem

nods

what's sad is that it's NOT an isolated case. I live in AZ which is ranked 50 on terms of education funds out of 50 states

UGH WE NEED BERNIE

seriously though something needs to be done on a federal level regarding the educational crisis we are having nation wide

like a mandatory percentage of a state's budget should go towards education

Stories like these make me so thankful I live in Vancouver where we have really strong renters rights. Apparently things were super appalling here before the renters rights came into place.

yeah Oregon has REALLY strong rental rights too

in fact in some cases really detrimental to the landlord. We had one of our roommates girlfriend stay over and was wrecking havoc. We weren't allowed to kick her out b/c she had BELONGINGS with her

so it became her residence.

then they decided to be further douchebags and refused to pay rent. We couldn't do ANYTHING to them, had to evict them. This was with a ROOMMATE situation

they weren't on the lease or anything

Ugh. I know our landlord had a hell of a time evicting the previous tenant. She was finally able to get him out when he was arrested for dealing drugs beside the building.

so while it's good on the one hand when seriously fucked up things happen, it is also a hindrance too

what does that mean?

ah

I think it is all about striking the right balance. A lot of places don't have any balance at all.

see another thing that pisses me off is that we renters have to give EVERYTHING about our backgrounds to the potential landlords but they don't ahve to prove ANYTHIGN on their end.

i really hope it gets resolved quickly for her and for all the teachers cause that's so fucked up

The thing about Flint is that Flint is America. This shit is happening everywhere. Flint is just one place where a spotlight was shown on all the horrible crap going on everywhere in the country.

For real.

And, it is only getting worse. Anyone who denies it is either on top or has their head in the sand.
