no you heard things i never came close to saying. i said teachers have no right to complain, and i said the wealthy as a group, contribute a lot to society.
why you heard, is that i feel
teachers have it better than billionaires. never came close to saying that.
you constantly hear things that have never been said.
i rarely buy my own supplies. and rarely did it when i taught. it’s not necessary despite what you hear. if teachers want more money for supplies, they can agree to have the same benefits that everyone else in the private sector has, then you’d have enough to buy all the supplies anyone could want .
i told you why i’m in a cubicle. once i reached my financial goals ( i can probably retire on the interest my nest egg generates and leave the entire principal to my kids), i took a demotion and i work a little less than full time. why work harder than i have to, if i don’t need the money?
if you see that as a character flaw, you are entitled to think that. i don’t need more money, i certainly don’t need more stress. i need more time
to fish with my kids. I’m at a point where i can give up some salary in exchange for more time, and i have a job i can do in my sleep, which gives me enough.
