Poor starvin teachers will be forced to eat cat food.
if anyone wants on the Michigan Cap con ping list, let me know
Oh, I hate that line. (Nothing personal, just ranting at the recurring meme.) Have you SEEN the price of cat food? in human-sustaining quantities? Frozen mixed veggies are cheaper. A big sack of rice or flour is a LOT cheaper per pound. Follow my tagline and you'll eat way better for much less than the old "forced to eat cat food" line.
This might have been true once but not for the last 40 years. It is an old canard-—You could pay them a million a year and they still would complain. Now I am not saying teaching is easy—to do it right its one of the most difficult jobs out there—but you want to see good teachers who earn almost nothing—Check out the Catholic Schools—they teach there because they want to—not for the freebies and the union. I know I have been one of them.
