Comments
You know, it's ironic that a group of people who are often noted as being underpaid are required to take college level courses (not cheap) at their own expense in order to maintain their certification (government mandated)to teach. They don't get reimbursed and the federal tax credit is, I believe, $250, which many of them exceed handily every year. In earlier times this was referred to as an "unfunded mandate". The people responsible for helping our children from growing up dumb as a box of rocks don't deserve this kind of treatment. Pass the bill!
That sentence should have read "The people responsible for helping our children avoid growing up as dumb as a box of rocks don't deserve this kind of treatment."
Sorry, Miss Gordy.
