teachers are actually overpaid in many instances for their very simple degrees....
you don't see social workers or accountants or librarians or journalist coming out of school with the whole summer off, every weekend and holiday plus extended time off through out the year...
its the teachers dirty little secret how much they make....
and does everybody like me get so teary eyed when they read how some of these teachers have to pay up to $200 a year just to get bulletin board decorations....imagine any other "professional" whining about such a tiny little cost of doing business....and still, they get a credit on their income taxes for it...
the teaching profession and their sycophants have been running a scam for decades now...
Again, if it’s a cushy job then why are you (and many others) not running off to do it ?
You do believe in market forces, correct ?
I’ve never had sympathy for teachers because I have too often experienced their whining. “Oh, I have to go back to work tomorrow! I ONLY had three months off! It went by SO fast! Poor me!” And they have the nerve to do this in front of people who only get two weeks off in an entire year! Not to mention the spring breaks, winter breaks, and numerous holidays teachers get, plus fully paid medical, etc.
Either go into teaching because you love it, or if you think teaching is such a rotten deal, look for a better paying job and quit griping.
