funny - old boy popped into my school year's ago on election day before i knew who he was, to get some face time w/ the kids - the legislature had just passed a bonus for teachers who got a national board certification, which i'd just finished up, so i asked him to pass on my thanks to the august body he was there representing, to which he smiled and said, "oh yeah, they were totally wrong on that, and i'll be working hard this year to undo that. teachers are really far too overpaid."
wow, thanks for the visit, asshole
