After having spent 10 years in the high school classroom, I can attest that outside of actors, athletes & politicians, teachers are the most self-absorbed, self-righteous class of fools around.

No teachers, you’re not special because you’re “shaping the future” — you’re DANGEROUS because you believe that.

I have no idea what this teacher’s politics are and in this case; it doesn’t really matter IMHO. She had a good point. A $38k a year raise for one person is huge; especially if the teachers didn’t get anything. It would be far better to spread that $38k around to everyone and for the district to add to it if they can than to give it all to one person. As a conservative I believe she was right and didn’t like they way she was jack-booted out of there in cuffs either.

Having said that; I’m disgusted at the indoctrination and brain washing happening in some classrooms but that’s another subject entirely.

You should read your post carefully prior to hitting the post button, After having spent 10 years in the high school classroom could be read as a student's statement.

I'm just yanking your chain.

Amen Brother!

But you forgot "self-aggrandizing" (my pet peeve).

In college, Ed majors were usually too dumb to pass the real tests (Math/Chem/Phys) and were given watered-down versions.

The whole education system should be abolished and the money used for infrastructure.

The classical education model is as anachronistic as the buggy whip.
