"Teachers are WHINERS:"

Hmm, so ALL teachers, everywhere are whiners. Gotta #$&king link for that?

"Teaching does not require a degree from a highly ranked university"

Gosh, this doesn't sound like liberal BS at all...

If teaching is so plum why don't you try it? Both of my parents teach at a public school and have to put up with kids whose parents are elitist morons like you all day. Oh, and combined they make about $78k a year...or 10K less a year than I make in marketing.

Great post, why don't you move along and attack some other hard-working Americans like firefighters. Like every profession there are bad teachers, but there are A LOT who work to make a positive difference in the lives of young people...and they aren't in it for the money.

I see we have some ELSE with a gun to their head. Dang, I am going to look around avery time I see someone in the car with a gun to their head, I will know it is a teacher.

I chose not to teach because I chose a profession that works with my skills and interests AND provides a pretty good living.

If teaching is such a sacrifice, then suffer in silence.
