"BS, stop making that claim, Teacher make on average, the same or more, than the average American. They work less hours, In an air conditioned/heated building. Get paid not to work on any excuse for a holiday, Snow days, sick days, and 3 months of vacation a year. Stop your whining. I have college debt too. whhaaaa whhhaaa" But NOT the same or more as those Americans with the same education. Working in an air conditioned building is a fairly recent development for most schools. Within the last decade. Check the school calendar again, it is more like 2 months vacation, especially considering teachers begin working one to two weeks before the start of the school year in their classrooms. Many spend that other "vacation" time in workshops, pursuing ongoing education, or working an additional job if they are not fortunate enough to work in a well paying district. That being said, MOST teachers are not the problem. It is lack of support and concern from parents. It is lack of support from community members who spend their time bashing teachers and schools instead of proactively doing something about the problem. Get involved in your schools. Support those who work there in any capacity. Support their various programs and activities. If you don't like the way those at the top are handling things, DO something about it at election time. With the constant bickering and bashing going on all over our country, it should be no surprise that our schools are not succeeding the way they should. And that is more than sad, it is frightening.
