47. Why do you think an educator shouldn't spend their money as they want to?

Should he buy an old junker car so his financial situation is less obvious and you can feel superior? I don't think what he drives is really the issue. I think the issue is the taxes. It is really not anyone's business how much anyone else makes or what they can afford to do in their lives. Flaunt away imo.

Why do you think the school systems are supposed to be promoting values besides materialism? This statement absolutely dumbfounded me. At our schools we promote learning with the goal of being successful as adults and being able to support yourself and your family. I have not once heard a student encouraged to be mediocre or told they shouldn't try to better themselves.

As for the cop, you were the one that pointed out he couldn't afford to live there and was moving. I don't know many well paid cops and I know a lot of cops. Many of them have 2nd jobs just to make ends meet. There are going to be a lot of communities that a cop can't afford to live in. There are a lot of communities school teachers can't afford to live in.. It may not be ideal, but not everyone can afford to live in the community they work in. Until recently my daughter drove over an hour each way. You can choose to drive and have a little better home with fewer bills or live close to work in a tiny apartment right next to a subdivision full of McMansions... I would take the drive every time. Sounds like the cop is a smart guy.
