Facebook Gives Hope
My wife found a post on her Facebook page this morning with a picture of a teacher at his kitchen table grading papers and the text paid testimony as to how hard our good teachers work.  She shared it to our store page and it received more views than any other post she (or I) had ever done.  Gives me hope that people may really care.  Last night on the Seattle news was an article how schools gave teachers more time off in lieu of pay cuts.  The article pointed out that is was an easy move by districts to keep from making hard choices like cutting district staff (my opinion) or other cuts.  Bottom line is that the kids suffer when they get an extra 15 plus half days.  As one parent quoted her child, "we don't do much on half days".  Why can't the first question always be "how does this affect the kids"?   Bless the kids and those who are to be helping them,  Dwight
