I am sure this man never talked back to his teacher, and his parents supported teachers. source: pepperhawkfarm.wordpress.com

Since today is “officially” teacher appreciation, I thought it would be a great topic to blog about. Teachers make way too much! They are too greedy!

If you read my blog on a regular basis, you have probably seen countless posts about the positive impacts that teachers make. As a principal who believes in the power of teaching, teachers have one of the most important jobs in the world, and I attempt to support teachers everyday. Know why? They support kids and make too much… way too much!

Its a shame that are more then a few jaded administrators, politicians, and ed reformers that vilify teachers. In my opinion, teachers are not the ones to blame when someone doesn’t like something in society. There are way too many variables that are out of teachers’ hands such as socio-economics, family dynamics, and parental/community support to blame teachers for the ills of society. I see teachers everyday fighting a seemingly uphill climb as they deal with being criticized in the press and on the late night talk shows. It never used to be like this. Granted, there are some teachers who have given the critics easy material, but then again so have the police, politicians, doctors, lawyers, etc. every profession has their outliers….One of the biggest criticisms of teachers is they too much money…. way too much!

Taylor Mali agrees. He thinks teachers make way too much as well….. Check out his awesome performance on what teachers make.

Thank you teachers! Thank you for making too much, way too much!!! You made it possible for all of us to achieve our goals!
