Official word on teacher rate at the Swan/Dolphin

[Mouseteacher]

KIS~ I didn't find your post offensive or rude. I am with you on the nobility of your DH profession. I almost wrote more on my previous post to respond to another poster (not you) but quickly realized I was being defensive and prehaps sparking a debate. I agree with ozzie - "I hate getting in debates like this."

You not only went over 1000 posts.. but your countdown is almost done!

I didn't know what to do with "that" post. I have been bothered about it since I read it, and was grumbling about it most of the day. I finally decided that I do have something most people don't. For my month and a half summer vacation, my ten hour work days, and my small paycheck I get to LOVE MY JOB! Not many people can say they love their job and you tend to find this a lot in the teaching profession! I thank God every day that my husband works in a different occupation which makes more money and I am able to do what I love to do.

I hope I didn't add more to the whole controversy. Suffice to say, The Swan/Dolphin teacher/nurse rate is a lovely gesture on their part. Thank you Swan and Dolphin!

Yea...hockeymom!

mouseteacher....congratulations on your 1000+ posts! A while back several of us lost our posts when the post counter mis-fired or something. I only lost about 3 or 4 hundred, but some lost 1000s! It may have been last summer? But, like hockeymom said, your counter is almost down and that is the most important!

...did not know about the no debating rule.

There's no hard and fast "no debating" rule here. "Civil discourse" is allowed as long as it's on topic. But if it reaches an "Is too! Is not! Is too!" level or people start attacking others, then it will usually be "locked".

Hi guys...friendly neighborhood moderator saying hi! Had to keep out of this one as I am a Boston public school teacher. I get paid darn well, but I work in the poorest inner city section of the city and I get what others describe as combat pay. Let's get back to topic and enjoy the great discount offered to us and the nurses at this wonderful resort.

Thanks, glo, for "reeling" us back on topic. And kudos again to S/D for recognizing teachers, nurses and gov't employees.

BTW, glo, a noble profession indeed - teaching in an inner city school. You and hockeymom certainly deserve accolades for all you do.

Mouseteacher,

I'm glad someone pointed out to us how close you are to your vacation. Have a great time and thanks for all your help on these boards.

Mouseteacher - let me also wish you a great trip.

And I'd like to thank everyone on the S/D threads for all the valuable information I've received over the past several weeks.
