Political Representatives of the Tea Party Terrorists have been doing everything to undermine the basics of decent government, with outright attacks on public servants, taking away internationally recognised labour rights and disgraceful attacks on teachers. The very people who could have helped them learn to spell if they had ever stopped thinking their teacher was a communist.
Now a soon to be former favourite of the Tea Party Terrorists has spoken up against their attack.
Sharron Angle told students that public school teachers are
dedicated public servants who are generally over-worked and under-paid for their profession:
ANGLE: I think that improving public education in Nevada is the same as improving public education all over the nation.... Teachers who are really good teachers do this not because of the pay, not because of the three month vacation, and not because they work a six hour day. And if you know a good teacher you know none of those things are true.
They don’t get paid like other professionals do. Their three month vacation turns out usually to be more like two months in the summer and they’re usually going back to school so they can learn more so they can stay ahead of you. Their six hour day is more like a sixty hour work week because they have more than they do than the six hours they spend in the classroom. They are dedicated professionals and they are dedicated to you. They are usually very honest, caring individuals and they want what’s best for you. When you talk about the three people who are most vested in education, that’s where our resources should be put, that’s where our concentration should be, that’s what we should be asking ‘what would make a better school?’
