I would like to see teachers paid a living wage here in the US, that'd be
a good start. Too often we hear about teachers who don't get paid well
enough to begin with that they have to work a second job of some sort,
and then we hear that they have to take their own hard-earned money and
invest in classroom supplies for their students. *That's* certainly not
right.
