"While Johnny and Jill may not be learning how to read, they are
learning that: teachers are underpaid, God is irrelevant, big business
is ruining the environment, the Bible says driving an SUV is a sin,
rewards should be based on need rather than performance, bisexual
individuals are under the command of unstable genes, the Alamo was a
great Mexican victory, society rather than the individual is
responsible for crime, saving the sucker fish is more important than
saving farmers, teachers' pay should be doubled, a diversity of
cultures and languages is America's strength, Thomas Jefferson was a
racist, two plus two equals whatever, competition is destructive, the
right to be wrong makes wrong right, the Boy Scouts are a hate group,
Ronald Reagan is responsible for the disappearance of the dinosaurs,
the Catholic Church is a hate group, defending yourself promotes
violence, the government is the source from which all blessings flow,
Southern Baptists are a hate group, high taxes are good for America,
equality is more important than excellence, carbon dioxide is
poisoning the world, cops hate black people, putting a condom on a
cucumber is child's play, the Salvation Army is a hate group, the
Constitution is obsolete, God is a homophobe, porpoises are smarter
than people, the Constitution requires the government to censor
religious speech, taxes are the same as charitable contributions, boys
and girls are exactly the same except girls are better, the toleration
of evil is a virtue, moral discernment is a hate crime, cutting taxes
is like stealing from poor people, American Indians would not have
polluted the environment even if they had known how, George Washington
was a racist, rich people enjoy stomping on poor people, the condom is
mightier than the conscience, Christopher Columbus infected the
natives with syphilis, one person's opinion is as good as any other,
the American Constitution was written by racists and sexists, Ronald
Reagan is responsible for the spread of AIDS, teachers should be paid
as much as NFL quarterbacks, sex between consenting children is
inevitable, all sexual orientations are created equal, religious
people are bigots, in the beginning there was a big explosion, a
family is any collection of oddballs living under one roof, the right
to kill babies is in the Constitution, it is un-American to have more
than someone else does, the only hope of the world is for workers
everywhere to unite, and it is the constitutional responsibility of
government to provide jobs, housing, clothing, condoms, hot lunches,
living wages, family leave, child care and band-aids to all citizens."

Hey!  Isn't that the Democratic Party platform?

Hey there my friend.  You're still facing the choir.  And we agree with you.  Where did you find this jewel?

Semper Fi

I'm  not too wild about the teacher part.  I never expected to get rich teaching.  That's not why I do it, but I would like to earn enough to make up for rising health costs, so that I don't come out further behind each year.
After 5 years of teaching, I make just over 30k a year,  including my coaching duties, and two club sponsorships.  Even in Wyoming, that is tough to raise a family on.  Don't tell me that I only have a part time job either.  I work from 7:30a.m. to 6:00pm, not including weekend trips during my coaching seasons.  I'm not bitch'in here, just trying to get a point across, that my job is not a free ride.  BTW, I don't belong to any teachers unions.  I refuse to let one penny of mine go to any anti-gun group.  Teaching is a job, guns are my life!

Guns762, you're right.  My sister has been a teacher for 20 years now, has a Master's degree, and just barely makes $30k.  She is a good teacher, too.

The statement above is the "politically correct" chant, though.  What it really means is that "school [i]administrators[/i] don't earn enough money, so raise teacher's pay so we can raise ours even more".  Can't come out and say that, though.

Oh, off topic, but by and large the Founding Fathers were racist and sexist by todays standards.  Good thing the late 1700's didn't run by todays standards, isn't it?

I get my pay checks divided up over 12 months.  I worked a few summers, but never made enough to justify the child care that I have to pay for if I worked.  I stay home with my boys(2 and 7), and take care of the housework, and yardwork.  It saves me about 300 a month in child care.  So, its like I make 300 a month for just playing with my boys.  My wife loves it; she never has to lift a finger during the summer.  Easy to plan vacations too.  BTW, I too love to teach.  I'm lucky, I look forward to almost every day that I go to work.
