To pp. If you don't like your job or if you think it doesn't pay enough, then you should leave your job.

You are a fool. Most of America lives in a world where the concept of limited resources does not exist. I am a kindergarten teacher who for 27 years has spent a cosiderable ammount of her salary providing materials and celebrating special events in the lives of children who often receive little. Most people in America have no clue what teachers do in the classroom, much less the money they spend out of pocket. It looks like you are just another idiot who thinks public education is failing America. Did you realize that most so called failing schools have only a very small percentage of children not meeting or exceeding standards?? These kids can exceed and acheive!! They many never be rocket scientist. But then again it's obvious you may not either. Do you think that private schools will take these special needs children? Do you think that when our public schools are required to spend our public tax money for vouchers to send them to private school, it won't be out of YOUR pocket?? Oh , but don't worry. Our president has mandated that all schools wil not leave anyone behind. That's right, we'll all be normal, equal, and above average in about 4 years. Maybe you believe in Garrison Keillor's Lake Wobegon.
