[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought teachers, firefighters, and others who work for the "public good" are granted special mortgages in Fairfax County.  I happen to live next to a bunch of teachers.  Most of them are married to others who make a lot more money than I do.

On nice days, they are home and sitting on the deck when I return from work.  I would like their schedule very much!

Also, teachers around here are paid much more than teachers in other parts of the country.  My good friend (with a Masters) started in Fairfax County at $45k.  Not a truckload of money but much more than my sister (who also has a Masters) started at in Massachusetts.[/quote]

There are no special mortgages for teachers in Fairfax County.

Teachers in Fairfax County make more than teachers in some municipalities in Massachusetts because our cost of living is higher here.  Just like teachers in Fairfax County make more than teachers in Goochland County and Stafford County.

I live next door to a teacher who gets home around 4PM.  She also leaves the house around 6:30AM, and I know she brings home tons of work every night and weekend.  What's your point?  If you don't want to show appreciation for what they do, don't.  It's also Nurse's Appreciation Week.  My cousin is a nurse and only works 3 days a week in 12 hour shifts with 3 45 minute breaks throughout the shift.  That sounds pretty great to me - 4 days off a week.  It doesn't mean I don't appreciate her hard work.  But I'm also not sending gift cards in to my local hospital to thank random nurses.  If you don't feel like showing appreciation for a teacher, don't.[/quote]
