Classic Leftist passive-aggressive B.S. “I’m not paid for my experience and education.” followed by the obligatory “Teachers do it because they love it.”
Christie has her dead-to-rights here. You knew what the job paid, you took it anyway, and there is only so much money that a state government can squeeze from its citizens.
And as far as her “education”… I come from a family of teachers. The business of “education” these days may be best summed up by asking “What is the fad this week?” I’ve seen things written by teachers that come home with my kids that make me cringe, and while not every profession should be tarred by its bad actors, (take my own for example…I actually know an attorney or two that I would refer friends to), this perfectly exemplifies the sense of entitlement that infects so many government employees these days. I guess she never thought that she would have to contribute in an age of sacrifice.
The fun part? She makes over 86,000 dollars a year. And obviously doesn’t know it.

Good for him! Am I the only one that gets the feeling that the teacher never imagined his comments would be spoken?
Good on him.
I live just north of Philadelphia, right across the river from Trenton and I’m telling you Christie is under continuous fire from both the public employee unions and the teachers union as they run commercials everyday promoting their skewd version of reality.
These people think that they don’t have to share in the misery of the Obama economy and that we should continue to pay ever higher salaries and exorbidant benefits. They demand more of our ever shrinking pay checks. These people have no shame as they extort people who are their neighbors for more money.
When our supposed public servants can demand more of our money and get it they become our masters.
