Dear 205 Teachers:

Who the hell do you think you are? Your OPINION is that you deserve better benefits because you care for and teach our children for a living. Being a teacher was your choice. How dare you threaten to stop teaching those kids you claim to care for, because your benefits and wages aren't what you THINK they should be. How dare you. Let's punish the kids because you are selfish and greedy and then claim in the same speech how much you care for them.

Doctors and nurses care for the entire city, their benefits aren't great! Nurses don't make a whole lot more than you do and I'm sorry to tell you but THEY deserve it more than you. I don't see them striking. I don't see them punishing sick people because they want better benefits. I don't see them crying and whining on t.v about having to pay for their own insurance. Cry me a river and then drown in it. You aren't better than anyone else, and you don't deserve more than anyone else.

When I was in school, we did projects and had homework.. REAL HOMEWORK! Not some pathetic worksheet with a paragraph to read and a few math problems. Our teachers TAUGHT us and they didn't make as much as you, I can guarentee that one! You guys don't even teach anymore. You throw some work at our kids and tell them to figure it out. I did book reports, not a stupid 10 question test with 3 choices to pick from for the right answer. They don't even need to read anymore!! They just have to use common sense to pick the answer that fits with the book description. PATHETIC!!!!! No more grades, just a 1 2 3 or 4 based on the work they do from the ridiculous worksheets you call homework.

To sum it up, most of you don't even deserve to call yourselves teachers anymore. You make me sick with your terrible attitudes, lack of patience and your inability to teach our kids what they deserve to be taught. Myself and all of my school friends included were at levels 4 grades beyond what our kids are at now, and YOU are complaining about your health benefits? You have kids that are homeless in your classes with barely enough to survive, and YOU are worried about getting better benefits? That's just disgusting. I hope you do strike, and I hope you all get fired for your selfish nature. Burn in the fiery pits of hell at this point.. Our kids are already learning nothing but how to yell and scream like you do at them.

You. Make. Me. Sick.
