You r ridiculuos. Teachers of today can't get past their own hatred of the no child left behind law, let alone anything else. I think the public is saying, "Do your job". It is obvious that material items are not a sign of a job well done. Teachers do make too much money and the really horrible part is their tenure. These poor kids have to put up with some of you miserable people for a whole 6 hours every day. Some of these so called teachers are screamming at our kids, belittling our kids, make everyone's life a shear hell. We are all aware it. I think ALL teachers should stay on strike and bring cyber school into the home. Kids do not need this!!!! Parents get brutalized when the teacher has to work too hard, and unfortunately we cannot replace them. Gee I have an idea, if teachers are so good at carrying signs, maybe they should put their lesson plans on them and march in front of their students and be just as devoted to that as teachers are to money. We have all had enough of this. Do your job.
