Too poor for the Super Bowl though I spent hours contemplating it when the tickets hit $1,900 a week ago. Would have been a helluva game to see in person. Teachers pull about $50k here for 9 months, and Texas is allegedly one of those bad states that hates everyone. Many school teachers in my family and they did fine and have had a comfortable retirement. :dunno |

Ok, look at it this way. A lot of schooling is involved in becoming a teacher, depending upon what level you teach for of course. Typically people with degrees bring in 60k or more easy. In most States teachers get the same amount as a blue collar worker... they do extra work without any financial incentive to do so. So what incentive do the brightest and best minds have to become a teacher? Because of this good teachers are the exception, not the norm, especially in super poor areas. It's not about teachers being in the poor house, it's their pay not rivaling doctors and the like, which it should because forming young minds is just as important as saving lives. I mean I do my part, any prop. that comes up for vote I always vote to give them more pay, but apparently WV is a red state now, so my vote never counts. |

I finally managed to get a Jill Valentine figure this week :) Been searching for ages and most of them seem to fetch crazy money (most dealers want £100+!) But I managed to snipe this one on the bay of E for £30 :) |

Grading some submitted assignments. This is why you carefully spell check and grammar check as well as give a complete read through to your work before you turn it in, kids. |
