Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Gym Teachers Making $100K

Troy gym teacher pay trumps nationally recognized science teacher

(By Tom Gantert, Michigan Capitol Confidential) -
A middle school gym teacher makes $99,528 a year in the Troy Public Schools. An elementary school gym teacher makes $97,108. Both made more than the district’s recently honored national teacher of the year in science, who earns $92,264.

Seven gym teachers in the district make more money than Rebecca Brewer, an AP biology teacher honored by the Troy school board this week for being selected as a national teacher of the year. Brewer implemented a program that simulates mock surgeries for her Troy High students and was selected as the ING national Innovative Teacher of the Year, according to the district.

Public school districts use a single-pay scale system that pays teachers based on seniority and education level.
