		TEACHERS SHOULD GET A RAISE FOR TEACHING OUR KIDS AND ALSO DEALING WITH THE THINGS KIDS GO THROUGH. MY HUSBAND IS A SPECIAL ED TEACHER AND HE GOES THROUGH A LOT. IF IT WAS NOT FOR OUR TEACHERS HELPING OUR KIDS THEN WHERE WOULD THE KIDS REALLY BE?

		Aside from actually being a parent, teaching is the next hardest job one could have. I work at a high school and know that I am not alone is saying that we teachers bend over backwards for students and sometimes, those students take advantage of us. But that is not WHY I teach: I teach because I love children and see the need for all children to get an education. It is very important. Parents deserve a lot of credit as well, but to be paid for it does not make sense. If the resonsibility, lack of recognition, and constant battles are too much for you, then you should not have become a parent. Being a parent is a gift and should be recognized as such.

		If parents don't, it's time they found a new job surely? Oh and don't forget, teachers are very often parent too.. give 'em a break.

		Parents take on a lifetime commitment to raise a child - it's a choice and not one that should be taken lightly. Teachers take on a relatively poorly paid commitment to do a job. The job happens to involve educating children (or a lot of the time coaching them to pass exams which is not quite the same thing), but also taking on responsibilities that go beyond those of many other jobs looking after child welfare and often having to mop up problems that parents cause. It's a tough job, and I wouldn't want to do it. Can't help feeling a lot of problems in society are because parents think that schools are for childcare... but that's probably a subject for a future post.

		Becoming a parent is a decision that the parents make; why should I give the government money to pay some schmuck parents to take care of the kids they decided to have? Screw that. For that matter, parents should pay for their own kids to go to school, instead of foisting that burden on the public.
