I'm sorry, but aren't teachers an example for their students? So what are the students learning without teachers in school? They are learning that when they don't like something they can just not show up to work and ignore their responsibility. That's the foundation for a stable America. That's getting everyone ready for our future. But of course that's not what's important. What's important is making sure that all teachers whether they are worth their salt or not, can have a warm fuzzy all the time. There is no competition anymore which lets them do whatever they please and bring home their paycheck if they earn it or not. I owe my teachers a great deal for what they taught me throughout the years and I'm forever grateful, but then again my teachers aren't skipping out on class right now.
