Love it or not, teaching is still a job and teachers still have to
make a living doing it. Just cuz they love the kids doesn't mean
they can give up food and shelter.

Personally, I think that the fact that these teachers are going on
strike is a good sign. After all, they are willing to fight so they
can make some more money so the can continue being teachers rather
than switching to a job where they can afford to live.

If someone should trim money it should be the upper administration.
Do you realize that the superintendant has eight (8) assistants and
each of those assistants has something like five (5)? Gee, I wonder
where all the money is going! If you're going to talk about not
caring about kids then these people should be the first people you
should be yelling about!
