scup, sorry to see you beaten into submission. your words ring truer than one may think. we taxpayers have been victimized by a system that is rampantly out of control. teaching is an honorable & noble vocation and good teachers are worth their weight in gold, but the system is broken and produces unnecessary costs due to a lot of unfunded mandates and "fat" ( too many admins, asst.admins. & assistants to the assistants, not to mention the "palaces" built as schools here in the northeast) have been the root of the general displeasure of the malcontents.
while your post may have been inciteful it was also just an opinion. opinions are formed from ones experiences and current position in life. the longer one lives the more one's opinions and positions change. natural progression. never apoligize for an opinion! would those who berate you apoligize for their own vocal political opinions?
now.........if my wife were a teacher or ed admin my opinion would be different i'm sure
