Ken - As a former professor (15 years) and formerly before that a high school teacher (2 years, I admit I'm a slow learner), I have the greatest respect for those who teach in todays public schools - I wouldn't put up with that crap that y'all do! I think its great that we are doing (have done) the things that we value most - making a positive change in the lives of people.

What world do you live in? I'm a public school teacher and I get NO paid
vacation time at all. I contract for 195 days and am paid for them. I am
REQUIRED to spend at least five of my "vactation" days taking classes and
training at MY expense and WITHOUT pay.
There are many auto factories here. The average line worker has more days
off, most of them PAID, than any teacher. Do the math. Teacher get paid
MUCH LESS than a baby sitter.
