		<description><![CDATA[I would like to ask Mr. greenfield if he has shared this article with the men and women who provided him with an education?  An education that allows him to write about his opinion ,albeit, an opinion that enrages me. I am a third grade teacher in a title I building, which means 65% of my students receive a free and reduced lunch/breakfast.  I &quot;work&quot; from 8:30-3:30, but arrive at 7:30 and leave at 4:45 and proceed to check, plan, and research for about an hour or two every single night. I work harder than most people I know in various other professional careers.    
 
I totally believe that if my students aren&#039;t achieving at some of the ridiculously high levels they are required to, it certainly is not because I&#039;m not working hard enough. Perhaps it has to do with the homes that my students go to each night. Are they being read to at night?  Are they being given boundaries?  Are they being taught to value learning and studying?  Ironically, my most successful students always come from homes where parents value and reinforce their learning. It&#039;s not rocket science.... The breakdown of the family and poor parenting is to blame for the majority of our failing schools. My school is full of hard working, caring, and loving men and women who would also take a bullet for the boys and girls in their classrooms.  
 
Mr Greenfield&#039;s article literally brought tears to my eyes.  I feel so unappreciated and unvalued after reading his article.  I&#039;ve wasted too much time tonight reading such biased bull crap.... I&#039;ve got to go check some papers  and prepare for the amazing day of learning I will provide tomorrow to 22 little 8 year olds.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In addition, this article is based upon 2009 data. As of 2012, most Michigan teachers have taken paycuts of 10% or more; have a 20% co-pay for medical insurance; pay 3% for retiree health; have to pay in additional money into their pensions. It would be interesting to look at these same statistics based upon 2012 data. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you put babysitters in the classroom, and paid them minimum wage per child, they would earn over 3 times what the current teachers earn. Teachers and Administrators in Sandyhook gave their lives to protect their students. Do you still feel these personal insults are warranted? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;so-called because the musical artist Moby proposed this very strategy.&quot; 
 
What scum. They project their own racial theories on to others. They just can&#039;t understand I guess. Brains too full of indoctrination to bother looking outside of their delusion-based conclusions. 
 
Thanks for mentioning it. I&#039;m not sure I&#039;d change anything I said, but it&#039;s sure worth knowing and keeping in mind. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;First of all, few people who have the education level of a teacher are making minimum wage, and most with the education level of teachers are making more than teachers.&quot;  
  
Really? Got any facts to back that up? Even if you do, are you ignoring the legions who make less than minimum wage? But making arguments with statistics often distracts from the key issues.   
  
If you want to be judged as a class or collective, then you all fail. If you want to be judged on individual merit, make sure that you aren&#039;t allowing your union in your name to say otherwise. 
 
PS - No level of education entitles you to anything.You took the risk investing in it, and it is your responsibility to reap the rewards if possible. Don&#039;t rest on your laurels. Make sure you continue to add value and ask to be judged based on that value. If you continue to rely on non-salient statistics for your justifications, we&#039;ll all continue to lose in this game. 
 
&quot;I dare any of you teacher bashers to try the profession for a year if you think it&#039;s SO cushy (but you&#039;ll need the education to be qualified).&quot; 
 
 
Nice bluff. Many teachers have the exact same opinions and don&#039;t need to be so defensive.

		<description><![CDATA[I grew up in Michigan, and attended Michigan public schools from grades K-8. My earliest years were spent in blue collar Madison Heights, where at the time, more traditional attitudes in education seemed to prevail. Starting in Kindergarten, phonics were used to teach use to read. A Christmas tree was displayed, but my mother was welcomed into the school to teach my classmates about Hanukkah. We swore the Pledge of Allegiance every day, and I often came home with a black dot on the palm of my left hand because, being left handed, I would reflexively raise my left hand to my heart instead of my right, and teacher was always there with her magic marker. 
 
I loved school. 
 
We then moved up into the world, to the Bloomfield Hills area, and things started to fall apart for me, school-wise. Teachers were now our friends, and less authority figures. The bullies were more belligerent, and disciplined less. Looking back, I see now that with the shift to a more affluent area, came a decidedly leftward change in how education and discipline were approached. I discovered that claiming to be sick, saved me from the drudgery when it became too much to bear. 
 
I hated school. 
 
Then we moved to Northern Virginia, just in time for the start of high school. It took me a few years to snap out of the malaise that the previous several years induced in me, and I started to enjoy school again. My senior year was one of straight A&#039;s, with the exception of the AP English class I took, where the teacher was a PhD. I was fortunate to have a staunch conservative as my US Government teacher, too. 
 
I note that Virginia doesn&#039;t even make the list, btw. I&#039;ll also point out that during my high school years, many teachers staged &quot;work to the rule&quot; protests. With the exception of a hippy English teacher in my first year, who told students we could ask her anything, except why she sent her children to private school, going to HS in Virginia was a positive experience, and I managed to get a good education, even though many of the teachers obviously felt they deserved more pay.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;If teaching is such a cushy job then perhaps someone can explain why 14 percent of American teachers leave after only one year, and 46 percent quit before their fifth year&quot;  
  
The whole system is broken. You&#039;ve failed to show that pay will help with anything but attract more individuals who might even not care of the system is broken, as long as they are paid enough to work with the broken system.  
  
&quot;This profession is a calling.&quot;  
  
Then why ask for pay?  
  
&quot;This article is just name calling.&quot;  
  
It got you to write your views and post them. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Or, should we just make it a communist government and scale everybody&#039;s pay according to their worth and to the size of the economy?&quot; 
 
Hopefully you&#039;re joking. Or do you know someone who is capable of entering &quot;god mode&quot; to make these calculations? Do you understand modern economics? Communism is a delusion. It doesn&#039;t and can&#039;t exist. It&#039;s a fantasy. 
 
&quot;The people who are villainizing teachers are really starting to make me sick.&quot; 
 
Nobody is villainizing any individuals. The system is broken. ]]></description>

Correct. But the rhetoric of class warfare leads people to look away from their own accountability. Thanks again Mr. 0. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Teachers are &quot;learning coaches&quot;. If an team consistently fails to score,the coach gets canned.&quot; 
 
 
Not if liberals were sports fans. They&#039;d blame society for the loss every time. 
 
 &quot;The NBA is not all-inclusive nor diverse. It is only filled with people who want to be there and to perform as best as they can. &quot; 
 
Funny nobody is talking about affirmative action quotas there. 
 
&quot;If we set this requirement for &quot;students&quot;, and remove those in the pre-prison program, then we can better judge how our learning coaches are doing.&quot; 
 
 
The root causes go even deeper. The Soviet Communists corrupted our education curriculum before we got our federal civil rights laws fully implemented. It&#039;s now running on inertia and dupery, plus it suits the Islamists to stoke the fires lit by the Soviets and other communists.

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;I don&#039;t think that &quot;aptitude&quot; is the problem, rather &quot;attitude&quot;.&quot; 
 
Correct. Faulty racial theory only helps Islamists, and it&#039;s just wrong. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;black aptitude just isn&#039;t as high as for whites.&quot; 
 
You&#039;re truly an idi ot. It&#039;s about culture, not your faulty racial theory. 
 
 
 &quot;(We&#039;re not permitted to say such a &quot;racist&quot; thing publicly).&quot; 
 
Funny because you just did. I guess your aptitude is not so high. ]]></description>
