Teachers always get a bum rap. Whenever things go bad in the economy the first thing is teachers salaries and how much they make, etc, blah blah. It really irritated me listening to Rush today bashing teachers pay. I think the people who pass information to him are not credible and thus he runs with it without checking details. I emailed him but I doubt that he’d read it. I hate it when teachers are maligned esp. about their pay. I think they deserve every penny they earn what with having to put up with all that they do.
Public school teacher bashing and cop bashing is quite popular around here.
I don’t get it.
I know that teachers are only part of the equation, but if the results aren't there, they aren't earning their pay. A 48% failure rate doesn't cut it.
