Wow- guy. My Cousin is a teacher in poor rural Vermont and it is not much better there. She burnt out a few years back and had to take a year off. She married the Cop that she conferred with routinely about her students and their crimes or the abuse they were being subjected to at home.

Don't get me wrong, there are some REALLY nice schools in the district where I live! I just have to get out of the combat zone where I've been the last seven years. Some of my friends are so far removed from this sort of thing, they think I'm describing Beirut instead of the county where they live. I've got a good shot this summer at a transfer to such a school. I've got good credentials as a past Teacher of the Year. I'll make it.

My Cousin and Aunt (another public school teacher) are besieged with pro Kerry and Pro Democrat literature and their "unions" basically tell them to vote for Dems.

Is that true in your case?

It's always been true in Miami-dade County, where I am. The RAT union gave over 5 MILLION to Dems that subsequently LOST (Never bet against Jeb!) and then we had a scandal wherein the union boss for the last 30 years embezzled a cool 3 million at least and HE went to prison. So the union lost power, enough that the Republicans in the union (of which I am one) are poised to take over next union election. I'm pretty sure one of my best friends in my school is going to quit teaching and become the number 2 guy in the union. He's retired military and extremely conservative. I'm on the Republican Action Group inside the union. The RATS all hate us but recognize that with the 'Pubbies stranglehold on state politics sure to continue the only way they're gonna get anything is thru US. LOL It's about time. Time will tell.
