re: #117 Aceofwhat?

Are you sure that you want me to wreck this post with a few simple spending charts and graphs, or do you want to back off of the hyperbole a bit? No harm done…i enjoy a good round of hyperbole…but saying that schools have ‘gone without’ over the past 20 years is like saying you can’t be a public employee in California and put bread on the table/

I grew up in a teacher’s family. I think I have a little more personal experience then you do on this.

I happen to remember not being able to afford fresh milk. The salary only applied to the months you were in school, and in the summer, my dad worked as a furniture mover. Times do change and I imagine the pay scales are different now, butthe GOP still screams about teacher’s unions, and No Child Left Behind is despised by most teacher’s I know.
