I don't disagree with you Mark, in fact I agree whole heartedly that teachers spend a great deal of time with the kids on a daily basis, more so than the parents. I really wish that we could all work together. You all wish for teachers that would care and motivate the students. We all wish for parents that would care and motivate the students. I don't think that there is much difference there. I know that we get paid to motivate but a parent chose to bring this child into the world. That comes with some responsibility in guiding these children in the right direction too. Why can't we all fight for the best situation for the kids and that is everyone to be on their side, working together to create successful members of our community? Oh, and I know, I know we are all overpaid. Very clever and original, Tim. I never heard that one before.
