I'm not saying that he/she didn't deserve the salary but if you take a school that has over 100 teachers in it and you add up all of the big dollar salary's and the fact that we also pay for the pension & continued education.
Eventually we are all going to be broke paying property taxes and income taxes.

I totally disagree with this statement. There is NOTHING more important to the future of this country than EDUCATION. We're getting beat world wide because of other countries turning out more and better engineers - scientists - programmers etc. I live in BELLEVUE the home of Microsoft - Amazon - etc -- and this place looks like a friggin' foreign country! It's because these companies (claim) that they can't hire enough people otherwise! That's SAD....
What's WRONG -- is that we love it when a football player gets 50 million a year (the fact that he can't speak english bothers me since he supposedly graduated college!) .... but educators, fireman, policeman and schools are looked at as the first place to cut the budget.
