You Get Out What You Put In

Here is wisdom... This country will fall on its fucking ass if someone doesn't remind people that everything is a bargain and you get what you pay for. If you want to have three months off every summer and low stress (don't even attempt to tell me how "stressed" teachers are - I have no desire to wipe vomit from my keyboard), you'll get paid accordingly. If you want to work 9-5, you'll get paid accordingly. Teachers are not dumb - they understand the bargain they've made. Their demands for pay similar to what some newly minted professionals get paid are disingenuine at best and an unvarnished greedy shakedown at worst.

Yeah. God knows we certainly don't want to waste money on the people who teach our children and shape our future. Especially since so many of us are now two earner couples and even more dependent on teachers and child care workers to help our kids learn and become good people.
