I'm so sick to death of complaining teachers.."oh I need this, Oh..I need that, I'm not getting paid enough, I think I'll go on strike!" What a crock ..while they are off walking the picket lines, the only ones who are really suffering are the children. BE HAPPY..AT LEAST YOU HAVE A JOB!! Some people don't have a job, houses, cars, food in their stomachs at night. Why in the name of God do people have to be so stingy. I don't care if you went to school..and you are educated. You had that right..what about the students who you are suppose to be teaching..do they not deserve the same right?? The future of this world is in the hands and minds of those much smaller than you..be the bigger person, suck it up..and go to work like everyone else. If you want more money, go back to school..earn a better degree, leave the school days behind and work somewhere else. It's that plain and simple. Those kids need an education more than you need a few extra bucks. I can't stand the fact that you people are so selfish..look into the eyes of the kids who are looking to you for support, your wisdom, your experience..and at least give them a chance. Get them back to school, so they can learn!
