[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a long history of teachers being grossly underpaid in the US, and so there has rightly been a long history of being grateful to teachers not just for their impact, but slso for their sacrifice. And, accordingly, there is a culture of thanking them -- gifts at holiday time, gifts at the end of the year, Teacher Appreciation Week - and generally appreciating the special sacrifice they make on behalf of the kids. Teachers, especially in DC, are now more fairly paid. We still appreciate them! And they still make sacrifices of time and energy, but they no longer make a particularly large financial sacrifice compared to many other jobs. The identity of teachers as underpaid has been slower to change than the reality. That's what I understand OP to be saying. It's a transition.[/quote] +1[/quote]
