[QUOTE="Stan Upchurch, post: 2403121, member: 24489"] And some are not happy because they support guns and shooting, and hunting. They have to listen daily to remarks by people both in the state and from other places complaining about the job they do.It is tough being a teacher or and administrator under those conditions. Finding teaching job that pays that good of money is not found in the southern states that value guns more than teachers. So give them a break guys. I taught here for 25 years and watched from a time I could bring a black powder rifle to school and teach my students about rate of fire in the continental army to where, if I mentioned how the rifles worked I got a reprimand. That was here in Oklahoma! It made me sick to watch it happen. But many other values were lost also. Like respect of the teachers and the job they did. yopu work 9 months, get paid for 9 but can spread it over 12. Then be required to go to school many summers and pay for it out of a 9 month salary. I got there every morning by 7 am. , had a 30 minute lunch break mostly with children. Who I'm sure you know sat quietly and let me grade papers. NOT! Left at 4. Went home and graded math papers and four other subjects of papers given every day until 10 or 11 most days a week. If it were not for watching the children learn, it just would not have been worth it. [/QUOTE]
