    Re: teachers need to stand up together
    Posted by Kgrace on 8/15/08

    I can understand your need to vent. However, you need to
    proofread your writing. Teachers set themselves up for
    criticism when they don't use the language skills they are
    supposed to be teaching. It gives ammunition to those who
    believe teachers don't deserve more pay.
