‘My stipulation is that anybody whining about teachers getting “time off” is just whining for the sake of whining’
well, no, it’s just noticing that every single work year teachers do in fact get months off from the job they were contracted to do; teach children...
‘Have you complained about them lately?’
I would complain long and loud if monies were extorted from me to fund their downtime...
‘Problem is those increased property taxes often don’t go to the schools.’
and yet those same ever increasing property taxes still come out of my pocket, regardless of their ultimate resting place...and I don’t get to walk off my ‘job’ of paying them in order to coerce lawmakers to make me whole...
Problem here is you’re blaming people who ARE NOT GETTING THE MONEY, and DID NOT CHOOSE TO TAKE IT FROM YOU, all because they get a couple months off.
Sorry but you’re blaming the wrong people for the wrong reasons and just plain not understanding how your government is deliberately screwing the education system.
