Oklahoma schools go on four-day weeks so teachers can make rent by working at Walmart on Mondays [View all]

So pathetic.


As a result, the state is going broke. Teachers haven't gotten a raise in 10 years and the only way they can afford to accept the pay -- third-worst in the nation -- is by negotiating a four-day school week in 90 districts, freeing teachers up to take jobs at Walmart on Mondays to make ends meet.
