[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bitter and nasty, no.  Is it YOUR fault that there is no money in the budget?  YES!  Your teachers union has pushed for benefits packages that are breaking the budget and breaking the backs of the taxpayers!  Right now, the vast majority of my tax dollars to to pay retired-teachers-pensions. 
Raising taxes for things like adequate supervision?  I'd be thrilled to.  But guess what?  That money would be funneled to pay for teacher's benefits packages rather than aides.  [b]You teachers should be ashamed.  Act like a professional and do what we all do at our jobs - pitch in and make sure the job is done right.[/b][/quote]

Wow. Great way to show appreciation for the hard work, and long hours teachers put in every day, some at very minimal wages. FWIW, I'm a teacher in DC, but have a child who attends K in MD. At our school, we don't have any time set aside for lunch breaks or planning during the day. We accompany the children to recess, and lunch, and provide all the supervision for them. Our planning time happens at the end of the day, once the children have gone home or to aftercare. As teachers, we would love even 10mins of time on our own, but that is a luxury we do not have. I know my child's K teacher works as hard as I do, and for someone to begrudge her and other teachers the right to take a 30min lunch break is pathetic. I'd like to see you step into the shoes of a teacher, and do what we do to ensure that YOUR child/children are well taken care of. Teachers in MoCo should be ashamed? No. Try pointing the finger at yourself and your ungrateful and judgmental attitude.[/quote]
