Here is installment 3:
(SALEM) - It is much easier to put things down when you never really see the subject of your insults up close. AM radio talk show hosts are one group that loves to target school districts and teachers, portraying them as villains and a reason for our problems, as the airwave antagonists hide behind a “lower taxes” strategy that has no end in sight.
They know that people respond to fear and anger and ignorance. The result is less money, while more kids attend school. What they attempt to sell as a common sense approach some see as little more than a road to anarchy.
The truth is, nobody becomes a teacher because they think it is going to make them rich. There are plenty of careers that pay more, lots more.
There are problematic teachers and officials, but most at least do not start out that way. Food for thought.
