I would like to correct at least one portion of this rampage! Teachers DO NOT get paid to have summers off. Our pay is spread out equally over 12 months. Also.... many, many, many, many teachers spend a huge amount of their own money on classroom needs and project materials. We, by no means, are getting rich. We also do not consider our jobs to be a 9-5, punch the clock job. I, for one, generally do not leave my school room until well after 5:30 or later, carry things home to do after that and many times spend weekend hours either at school again or working at home on things for school. I also spend a great deal of my summer doing school related things. I am offended at the comment about teachers only working half a year!!!!! Teachers are NOT the enemies here!!!! Our children are our future. What kind of future do you want????????? Perhaps MR. Daniels should put on his teacher shoes and give being in the classroom a try before he continues to smear us!!!
