Let's all call congress and demand higher taxes so union teachers get more money...it is "for the children", don't you know?

If only it were true. The gov't money is mostly going to the "administrators". The teachers see very little of it. We keep increasing the money given to the Dept of Education and very little trickles down to those who need it. Why would I want to go to college for 4 years and jump through hoops to get $24K a year? No wonder good teachers are hard to keep in the profession.

"No wonder good teachers are hard to keep in the profession." You work only 180 days a year, earn up tp 60k and retire with 39k a year at age 55? I'd stay in it. Hey they always have Hillary to back them up, they love her you know. Especially the female teachers. Been there, I know.
