9. Of course the poll numbers are that. Teachers aren't allowed to be human.

We're to work for free, you know. We shouldn't need salaries that actually pay our bills and buy food for our children and pay our taxes. No, not the teachers.

Our administrators, on the other hand, well, we need more of them, right? More people who make double what we make, more coaches who get paid double per day what we pay the substitutes we need so we can be sick or go to required meetings during the day, more support staff because they're cheaper overall. We sure as heck don't need more teachers or to pay those teachers a living wage commeserate with their educational levels, skills, and worth to the community.

We're supposed to be slaves, people. Get it right. Extra unpaid hours, extra work we take on for the children, less in pay and benefits until we're working for free.
