With all the great things happening in our wonderful city, people need to be encouraged, and not discouraged, about visiting downtown Milwaukee. Before anyone makes a comment, he or she should know the facts. Uhl claims we get - is by having money taken out of my weekly checks and put into a summer pay plan. My checks are smaller during those 191 school days so I can get a check during the summer. Believe me, we do not get anything for nothing.
Most teachers work hard for the money they earn.
I thought being a teacher was being a teacher, but it's being a parent, social worker, nurse, friend and educator. I think that's dedication to a profession that has gotten very little respect lately. Please don't judge when you do not have all the facts. I feel confident that I can equate myself and my education with the best of those who graduated from college. All the teachers I know put in at least 50 hours per week of student contact, planning, parent communication, extracurricular activities, grading papers, etc.
