I didn't say your thoughts were inaccurate. I pointed out that people are quick to jump on an average American that wants to make more money. But, if a CEO of a poorly run, or even a well run company, makes millions, no one says a word. In fact, they are applauded. Why do you not applaud a teacher that betters himself and his family for making as much money as he can?

That's funny...because I see ton's of whining by the DBM about this CEO..or that CFO settling to earth with some humongous parachute.

BTW..I'm not going to begrudge anyone for wanting more....but I can tell you it's very tiresome to read in the local catfish wrap...at least every week..about how teachers are underpaid. Now I realize most of this is designed by the NEA......but it does happen way too often.

When I decided on a profession...I had an idea what that profession paid. Many times..it appears as if newly graduated teachers have no clue as to what the job market held for them.....

Maybe it's just me...but that doesn't seem very smart.

Well...Teachers do have some of the lowest SAT scores of campus majors. They aren't the brightest bulbs on the academic shelf. Smart? Maybe not.
