went to an inner city high school where some of the teachers who had problems were sent. This is not to say we didn't have some really good teachers, but a relative who worked in administration told me this was a normal practice. The wealthy districts got the best teachers - along with decent books, newer lab equipment, etc.

Never saw her again.

The president Thursday proposed a little bit of a bonus for teachers who go through rigorous training to carry guns in the classroom, saying he hoped they would be people with great talent at guns such as military veterans.
