I'm sure this is a good thing for everyone, but I can't help but be a little disappointed with the salary deal the teachers received. It's better, yes, but still measley. It makes me angry at how undervalued education and educators are in this state, and in many other states.
Teachers have one of the most important and one of the toughest jobs imaginable.
