Recent Transcript Excerpts
personnel aren't they on this their contract read a certain amount of days like teachers do i mean they you know they they may start them sporadically but i'm just wondering aren't they aren't their contracts like certified personnel according to number of days? I
Now yeah Thanks nail for your report. I there's two things one one is i'm old enough to remember when uh teachers did draw an employment for one summer and it was about 1972 73 there was some kind of loophole in the law and uh they got that fixed right quick i don't remember what happened but number two over what senator chesterfield said i was just curious about uh aren't the non-certified
thanks i'm kind of dense here but uh if this motion passes then are we going to vote on both of them how you i don't understand how you got to do then we're going
well. Okay, so how much stock or how much do you glean out of their information to
the state of Arkansas. Yes. Okay. Okay, so you mentioned EdBuilt, and that's, is that a national, that's a national program, isn't it?
you, Mr. Speaker. I think it's a pretty simple question. Dr. McGee, you mentioned that basically you just work in Arkansas. Is that true? That's what you said earlier?
And so I just wanted to emphasize that. And two is, my perspective is we blame the teacher a lot when the bottom line is that the person is accountable himself. It's just like Linda said, they're competing on a world market and they've got to answer for themselves. And we've got to put more emphasis on that. And I know all these things are simple, maybe foregone, like I say, foregone conclusions, but I just, I wasn't planning on saying anything, but I thought, you know what, we don't really broach that subject of control and discipline, so I just want to put my two cents worth in.
some of them read some of them yeah they they have good they do well but uh you know once they getting eighth grade they're allowed to be put somewhere else and not in school and those kind of things and so uh i just want to say that because it uh we've got to back the teachers you know and and you know what i know a lot of people think well this that's just a foregone conclusion no it ain't not if you're facing 25 or 30 of those yahoos it's not a foregone conclusion
teacher the one thing that's left out most of the time is teachers and or coaches or administrators they've got to have control if we don't give them control we don't you don't have diddly if we don't whatever we put in if we don't give if we don't give them an opportunity to discipline we're not going to have diddly these these people that joyce mentioned uh you know you can talk to
of open mic I'm gonna get on I'm gonna get on a subject we really haven't talked about probably since I've been in here so I've been on this committee since 2013 and we have implemented programs studies you know just we've gone up and down the scale some things have probably helped some things have not you know but but speaking as a
Deffenbaugh thank you mr. chair I'm since it's kind
punch back in Dodson yeah thank you Mr. Chair okay representative Beck you know still let's go back to dc there on 2013 0.76 you know as a decimal or if you change it to a percent that's 76 percent better is that what that
