[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As long as my child has a teacher every single year who is forced to use their own money to properly supply the classroom I will continue to give a monetary gift.  Teachers are disgustingly underpaid and under appreciated.  I could not do that job all day. [/quote]

They need to go to school for 4 years.  It is a very easy degree to get.  They work 6-8hrs a day, 187 days a year. Guaranteed break of 1 hour for lunch/recess within a 6hr school day.  For middle/upper school, they have guaranteed 2 periods off.  Average MCPS salary is $80,000 and many can supplement that with a summer job or tutoring.

Most other full time salary employees work 8-10hr days, 260 days a year with no guarantee of a lunch break.

Sorry, they are not disgustingly underpaid.  The best thing you can do for a teacher is back the F off, appreciate them, have their backs, and let them teach.  I think most would take a pay-cut to not have to deal with the helicopter and tiger moms of our generation.    [/quote]

Are you serious?  Where are you getting this information? Teachers get to school before classes start and leave well after classes end.  Lunch is not guaranteed.   Teachers give up their lunch to help kids falling behind.  
During specials they grade tests or work on lesson plans.  The older our kids get the more of their personal time they spend.  How long do you think it takes 1 teachers to grade 25 term papers?  Wow PP you are seriously out of touch.
