Teacher's Salaries

Hey Robert, You also chose your career in Adult Education. You made that decision knowing what the benefits of that job were at the time you chose it. Every teacher I know is thankful they have a job. Fact is that when the private sector was prospering and the rich were getting richer and the middle-class was "status quo" no one had a gripe. When all the CEO's and sales people in this nation of ours were "raking it in" no one cared what teachers were doing or making, or the fact that they didn't pay for their healthcare, or $5 for rx's, which is different district to district. Now that there is a downturn, and the sales aren't good and the CEO's are getting canned and companies are going under are teachers and all public workers and their "perks" as some call it, being scrutinized. Teachers sacrifice plenty. It's pretty much a safe bet to say that there aren't many people getting rich being teachers, especially when all the teachers I know reach into their own pockets to purchase supplies for their classrooms and for students whose families cannot provide them with essentials such as pens and notebooks...you get the drift. If these cuts and freezes become a reality, I am afraid that the impact will be on my children and the children of all other parents who are counting on our "teachers" to show them the way to become the future leaders of the country. No CEO or politician is going to teach our children how to do that.
