Well Mr. Legg,
Once again you've made some poorly thoughtout assumptions. I am not a union rep for the NEA, a teacher by profession, or gullible enough to swallow anything the news media has to promote.
You've said nothing of substance that would make me reconsider my observations that most people, are more than willing to pay more to fix their lights, automobile or have their garbage picked up than they'd ever pay the most important people in our society... teachers. The people who are responsible for helping each child grow into an adult capable of thinking a problem through to a logical conclusion instead of looking for an easy "pat" answer stated as fact when it's actually no more than opinion.
Stating that (and I paraphrase) "a teacher might be considered underpaid relative to where they live is a myth", has nothing to do with either fair value remuneration or their importance to our society. Such a position is indefensible and absurd. If you insist on stating as fact that teachers are NOT UNDER paid, then you continue to miss the point and probably always will.
Unfortunately, ignorance is bliss for too many. I trust you'll have a blissfully ignorant Merry Christmas unencumbered by this debate.
A Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
And I still think the Guerini is a good choice...but that's just my opinion...not a fact.
