IMHO, teachers don't fight and try as hard as they used to and, while
the system has gotten more difficult, and the kids more challenging,
that's no excuse to not fight for what we know in our hearts is right.

But it is a bit demoralizing if you work your ass off to bring something to
the disadvantaged like in the Paterson NJ high school system, have some
measure of success, get a masters degree and hear the next day that the
"tenure" you earned doesn't mean enough to stay off the RIF list.

I hope teachers everywhere will keep fighting harder than ever to give
every opportunity possible to tomorrow's children. For goodness sake,
what am I paying taxes for if not expanding youthful minds?

Here's to hoping my Son-in-law gets his job back in Spetember ...
