Ok....so where's the bailout NOW?
We're TOTALLY ready to jump like a frog on hot coals to rescue the banks....whose CEO's are making millions a year. But not to save our educators who, on average, make LESS than $100,000/year?!?!?!?! (And many less than $50,000/year!)
And of course, the ones who will get the axe FIRST will be the Music, Art and MAYBE the sports instructors.........because, as we all "know", they don't matter.....even though THOSE subjects are the ones that keep a student sane to endure the OTHER subjects.
Rest assured, THIS former educator will be writing everyone she can think of to write and voice my heartfelt disappointment.
PRIORITIES, people.....PRIORITIES!!!!!!!!!!
Distressing.
