Ed, This is in response to “Teach Reality.” I don’t work for the school district, but I have seen the children and God bless those who are dealing with them. School district employees pay taxes, too. Everyone who works deserves a salary, why begrudge them?

I would bet you would not be so quick to criticize; in fact, you will say give this person a raise.
