Hehe You? Incoherent? hehe. I agree with you on that. Way too many people go along with the idea of teachers being overpaid and underworked. One of the biggest problems in that thinking is that they only use the teachers at the extreme top of the pay scale. Very few make it that high since it requires several university degrees, including graduate ones and/or being a principal which few want to do. There's a 20k difference between these people and the others in top pay. If you hear that the top pay a college professor made was over $500k, do you think all professors make over that much? Of course not, but why do so many think that of teachers? When people talk about the holidays teachers get, it's also annoying for many reasons. One is mentioned in that comic. But there are others. I'd love for those who think teachers are underworked to work as a teacher for even a year and try to do all the things they think teachers can do. That cartoon was great, thanks! You might as well pass the article on if you do find it. I'm not as upset over it all now like I was earlier when I first read about it. Although my recent post about other changes is not overly helpful to my mood. Good thing I read about them a number of hours ago while at work. heh
