Dave,

I could not agree with you more. Do teachers deserve the money they are paid. YES! They also need to remember who paid for their Master's degree (SBCSD did), that they work less than 200 days per year, they work in a safe, clean environment, and most importantly, they need to know taxpayers have had enough.

Teachers need to get with the rest of us and realize times have changed. Appreciate the fact you have a job. If you don't make enough money, step aside and let fresh talent take your place.

Here's a great web site which provides good information:
