Comments on teachers' salaries and taxes continue to come in, too. I did not say anything about athletes and their salaries. They are overpaid, but that is because of corporate America. If I want a raise at work, I can't go out and raise taxes. There has to be a better way.
Teachers have the same responsibilities outside the classroom as anyone else.
There are a lot of occupations that don't make enough money. The one that really stands out in my mind is law enforcement. Yes, teaching is an honorable profession, and we need to respect our educators enough to pay them what they are worth. This is not aimed specifically at Wise County law enforcement, by the way. I'm talking about ALL police officers in Texas.
