Response to 'Teachers deserve respect'
In response to a June 15 column (“Teachers deserve respect”) by Sammy DeMarco, as an educator and parent, I am concerned about the negative attitudes held by some about public education and educators. It is increasingly frustrating to listen to our elected officials spout data and numbers about how much teachers make per hour, what our salaries should be and how we are given far more benefits than other professions when their “facts” are based on creative math and blatant lies to mislead the general public.
