Reply #84: Who said I was jealous?

I simply find it odd that we are rewarding wanna be teachers (who, IMO, are degrading to our profession) with $10,000 while lifelong veteran teachers don't even get money to buy supplies for their classrooms. That's not jealousy, it's misplaced priorities and injustice.

To compare this to food stamp recipients is ridiculous.

I also happen to believe our kids deserve better than this. But if it works for you, I can send the vet teaching in my building to come work with you. Then you can see for yourself. Let him teach YOUR kids. Get back to us on how well it works out for you.
