Because I am a teacher
- · I will not receive my husband’s social security if he predeceases me
- · I earn substantially less than other professionals with commensurate degrees
- · I have to work to support myself during those “summers off”
- · My tenure is under attack because administrators don’t have the courage to follow the due process necessary to fire incompetent teachers
- · And my husband was laid off, we are in danger of losing our home because we can’t live on my salary alone
- · I am fortunate to do something that I love: teaching and working with teenagers
- · When I am in the room with my students all of the above fades away for the moment.
