Years ago, I read that the average teacher got paid $20,000 annually--while the average trucker got paid $40,000 annually. And surely this inequity exists still. This is one reason the U.S. is such a mess--those with the most important jobs get paid the least, those with the least important jobs get paid the most. And I can think of no more important job, in any society, than teaching.Scotthttp://solosocial.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8705746156849976625.post-60492586702180518312011-03-01T05:21:52.044-05:002011-03-01T05:21:52.044-05:00I agree!

I go in the van a couple times a month and have about 8 of the cloth bags. sometimes I have enough, sometimes not.<br />They hold more than the store's plastic bags! and hold a lot more weight.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14771682280188836517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8705746156849976625.post-28622228400381730932011-02-25T15:37:00.743-05:002011-02-25T15:37:00.743-05:00God bless you and every single teacher out there. ...God bless you and every single teacher out there.

I support teachers and can only imagine how you must feel. I don't know what to say to help you feel better except to remind you that a portion of the payoff comes later when many of the students you touch remember the very profound impact you had on them. For me, it was Ms. Lockeby, Mrs Josnston, Mr. Webb, Mrs Peters. Seems odd to be sitting here a bit teary eyed about it but I am so thankful that I was fortunate to have been put in each of their paths. You probably don't know which kids they are but they will rermember you and likely be very grateful too!coyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443840334107313385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8705746156849976625.post-47870855394172290592011-02-25T00:29:05.485-05:002011-02-25T00:29:05.485-05:00hmmm.

So I will assume there is some school union stuff going on. Or teacher stuff. Are all the parents tired of snow days and taking it out on the teachers?<br /><br /><br />I think teachers have a HUGE HUGE job to do and are under paid/appreciated. and often have to deal with having their hands tied over hat they can and can't do.<br /><br />(yes, some home schoolers really do think that!)<br /><br />so, whatever is going on, I hope general public wises up and gets their heads screwed on properly very soon.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14771682280188836517noreply@blogger.com
