But not hard enough when we're 49th in the nation when it comes to our public schools. I wouldn't be rewarded with hugs and cookies and drinks if I were shitty at my job. (Not to say teachers are the only people to blame - it's parents, it's environments and - mostly - it's just the fact that there's a LOT of stupid people who'd rather watch American Idol and play on the MySpace and that's just basic Darwinism). - Aaron Proctor http://www.proctorformayor.com I will agree that teachers work hard.
