NJEA, Teachers, and NJ

Exactly who are all of the people villifying teachers? Are they the very successful business men or women who make 3 figure salaries after a few years with bonuses to boot! Perhaps our lawyers, who charge hundreds per hour with no questions asked. Could it be my plumber, electrician or mechanic who make at least $100 per hour! After 25 years I got a 1% raise the last contract- down from 1.2 % the contract before.. Not enough to cover the increase in taxes, gas for my car and food. After a master's degree, additional college credits and experience I am not only proud, but also successful in teaching your children how to read, write, do math, use technology, get along with others and be the best they can be! All the teachers I know are the same. I, like every teacher I know, contribute to my pension. I, like every other teacher in NJ, get no PAID holidays or days off-we get paid for the 184 days we work. Jealous-then you spend all the time, energy and effort all of us teachers did to get a degree. And, we work in spite of having summer's off . FInd any teacher that isn't looking to make money over the summer. We are professionals, we are educated as professionals, please treat us as professionals.
