Fortunately there are some top notch teachers who are working for

among them, both graduated summa cum laude from university and both
have gone on to advanced degrees to become better teachers. Lucky for my
wife I don't teach and have always made about ten times what teachers
do. Daughter is a single mom and has sacrificed a lot for what she
believes in. IMHO we need more people like my two ladies.

I know where you're coming from, my daughter is also a single mom
and teaches ECE (Early Childhood Education) in Canada. She also
has given up a lot to be able to continue, she likens it to 'drug
dependency', says she's hooked on it, loves it.

I'm just glad someone is willing to do it and do it right. I see too
many kids coming out of high school here in Louisiana who not only can't
read and write they have no "life" skills at all. I end up paying for
they and their children to live on welfare.

I would be in jail for murder if I had to teach junior high or high
school for a living. First little SOB that cursed me or showed
disrespect would learn what an old NCO can do with his boots. Sheesh,
and to think I've got five grandkids in that bunch.

Yeah, I have lots of respect for dedicated teachers and think they
should put the others up against the wall.
