    While I agree with most of the initial post, there are some great benefits from being a teacher, one of them is not lots of money and the other is not half the school year off! And yes I enjoy my career and have figured out how to live off of two teacher salaries that add up to what most would consider the amount of pay for one profession! I didn't walk out on Red For Ed because it ain't my belief or style and I am thankful my school district chose to keep working! I started out in 1990 at $19,000.00 a year, my wife the same so as a couple we made $38,000.00 a year! After 30 years I make $45,000.00 a year! Most professions comparable years of college plus 30 years would put me somewhere up at least 80-90K without my wife working! I have built cabinets, worked that pig farm, Home Depot, during the summers to supplement my "days off" from school teaching! I ain't saying things are right in education because I have my own personal beefs with the system but don't throw all teachers under the bus.........there's a bunch of really good teachers out there that spend a lot of time trying to make a difference in kids lives. I ain't complaining, just trying to shed a little light on money, days off and I don't doink the principal!

    I’m a teacher. I didn’t walk for red for Ed. I don’t get half a year off. I coached 3 sports for a while, now down to 1 sport. I don’t get paid much, I do more for my community than most people. Tons of teachers are ready for in school teaching, I sure wish Combs had real teachers.

    I just dropped one of my kids off at his dorm at NAU yesterday. He is going to be a teacher. I tried to sway him away but his mind was made up. Math wizard. Luckily he has aspirations to go all the way and teach at the college level. This country needs some good conservative professors in the mix at these universities.

    I turned my tag in, and one of my good friends was next on the list and got the tag... he killed a big nontypical goat on first day after passing up several bucks.

    All things things you all are saying are not exposed outside media. Look at my angle and bias, I just thought it was the way I put in the above post, but dang, sure am wrong, and not afraid to admit it. The things you all as teachers do, goes oh so very unnoticed.

    Your ignorance is showing. Teachers don’t get half the year off. All those things you just named are the same stupid things that every company has employees complaining about. They are professionals who deserve to be treated like professionals instead of as personal babysitters. I for one sure as heck wouldn’t want to go into a room full of 30 nose-picking booger flingers whose parents are sick of having to spend time with them.

    If they choose to not go to work they are definitely not essential and they should be fired! There are lots of people who MUST go to work everyday, who are put in danger. Not all teachers, but a majority are showing their true left colors. It's pathetic!!!!!

    I had a “friend” try to sell me his 10 gauge years ago. Some say a friend wouldn’t do that.

    The spikes probably came from all the people that had to stand in line for hours to get fishing permits and also apply for hunts because they have no online sales. I bet it had nothing to do with fisherman on the water Brian

    Never has, never will. At this point to anyone who thinks the virus isn't being politicized well beyond its actual danger is brain dead.

    You hit the nail on the head. 5-10 years ago I would have encouraged him to join this group. There are still some GREAT people on here, but the know it all trolls, who have nothing to contribute besides jacka$$ery, can't help but shoot their mouths off every 5 minutes anymore.

    Including honor and character. Some just never had much to begin with so it goes for very cheap.
