YOU ROCK MR KNIGHT

[FuckOppression]

i'd take a pay cut if it made it so teachers would get paid more anyday, for the sole reason of, it's the right thing to do.

[FuckOppression]

Sovereignty WILL PREVAIL!!!

Someday the Teachers Will get what they deserve.

They should be the highest paid profession in this country. It's bullshit that the one who teaches a surgeon gets paid less the the one he/she has taught. I WANT TO SLAP THE PERSON THAT MADE THAT HAPPEN! AND SOMEDAY I JUST MIGHT DO THAT!

[FuckOppression]

and another thing our education system SHOULD NOT belong in the hands of our government! If a tyrant gets in office u better belive he/she is going to destory our youth. I feel i have to warn everyone so here goes. In David Rockefellers book: David Rockefeller Memiors, he admits to being part of a secret cabal, that is trying to destory the USA and create a New World Order look into bilderburg the CFR and Tri-lateral commision they are all connected and all want the same goal one world gov.

I think it has a lot to do with all the entertainments. Have you noticed that most Americans decide who to vote for by watching the news? It drives me insane that so many people belive anything they see that comes out of their tv set as long as they say its fact. Everyones gone crazy. Which ironically, makes me go crazy. I wanted to rip my hair out when Bush got re-elected and i couldn't even vote... You no why he got re-elected? because of fox news and their propaganda were safer with bush?sigh

Times have changed a lot.Students had respect for teachers,asked questions,got answers,some got expelled,but over all things seemed better.What's happening?Students expelled for asking questions,throwing chairs at teachers?Teachers called tyrants? Respect starts at home.I see both teachers & students overly stressed these days?whay?single parents existed long before too....

I can't wait to see the Angry Tired Teachers rock out on Sat. May 30th at the Berkeley Community Theater!

They're going to bring the house down fighting for social security fairness.

See you there!

Teachers should tell illegals that they shouldn't go to college because it's pointless for them--no employer can ever hire them. Guidance counselors should make every effort to tell students that college is a bad idea if you can't afford it--you cannot default on student loan debt. Unfortunately teachers and counselors prefer to be shills for Sallie Mae.
