2. I was watching a movie from the 40s and an actor played a teacher

and as usual they were complaining about the low pay. It was A Letter To Three Wives. Two other films I saw this week from the 50s (Desk Set and Blackboard Jungle) did the same thing. I was a teacher for about 20 years and a union rep for my site. I want to know when this country is going to pay teachers what they deserve! Teachers have tons of student loans, long hours, little respect and support and often are made very ill by students. Most teachers spend thousands of dollars out of their own pockets and this is how they are rewarded? And now they have to deal with classroom shootouts! When is this situation going to change?
