She's an attorney and decided to become a teacher? Something doesn't smell quite right.
“She’s an attorney and decided to become a teacher?”
Perhaps teachers in California are better paid than attorney?! She probably got a huge increase in her salary plus summers off.

[excerpt] ....Meanwhile, the leader of the Education Action Group blasts the CTA’s “State of Emergency” campaign for highlighting what he called unionized teachers’ “me-first mentality.”
“If California’s teachers unions were serious about taking action, they should concentrate their efforts on finding ways to reduce or eliminate some of the more expensive perks in school-employee contracts that have been bleeding the state’s schools to death for years,” Kyle Olson, the founder and CEO of the Muskegon, Michigan-based lobby, says in a statement issued Friday.
“Residents have realized that the union’s ‘me first’ mentality is a major reason why cuts to education are now necessary,” Olson continued. “The union-organized ‘Week of Action’ to protest the painful but necessary move only confirms that the teachers unions’ real motivation has little to do with educating the state’s youth.”
He accused state union officials of having “shrugged their shoulders when school districts across the state were forced to lay off smart, young educators so their more senior colleagues could receive the expensive union perks guaranteed in school-employee contracts.”
His group faults the CTA and its member associations for failing to negotiate concessions that could have public schools money and prevented many of the cuts now facing California educators. [end excerpt]
