The AJC's continued attack on teachers

Did anyone see the cover of the AJC today? The title was "Teacher Absences Cost You Millions". It was about the cost of paying for substitutes, since clearly teachers don't deserve paid leave from our jobs.

Since it was some sort of special research article, I can't post the entire thing. But here is some info about it from the AJC blog.

Governor, Please Make My School a Prison

Read this ironic letter a Michigan superintendent wrote. It points out the irony of our society's spending choices. However, it doesn't get into the larger aspect -- if we spent more money on our schools, we probably wouldn't have so many people in jail.
