Hello,

We as teachers across this nation need to stand up together and go down to Washington or wherever and tell them what this so called education these children are receiving are a joke! NCLB is terrible!! It's unrealistic and putting great deal of pressure on teachers is not fair. We do not get paid enough to do it on our own. Where is the support, where are the benefits? We teachers should be treated like the main priority when it comes to discussing state budget. Education should be number 1. How come do famous people, basketball players, etc get the best benefits, but we get treated like dogs. Oh, thats right we are not important our kids are not important, but then the government or US officilas wonder why we as a nation need imports from other countries. Well, if they would put education first , our children will be the brightest! Not saying we are dummies, we are not , but we could do much better if education was at the top of the list. Sorry, but just venting.
