Touchdown for teachers - only in America [1]
['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

There is a program in Arizona called touchdown for teachers, which gives $500 to teachers to buy “much needed” supplies. What an appalling statement, that in America teachers have to rely on charity to buy supplies for their classroom. Teachers in this country are the lowest paid of any other developed country and in fact often have to shell out their own money for these supplies. Some teachers need second jobs in order to pay their bills. Our schools are crumbling, some in the SE don’t have air conditioning and the kids are sweltering. What do we value in our country? It certainly isn’t education. And it’s not that there isn’t money to pay for the best education for our children. We have money for football stadiums. Athletes are paid huge sums to just throw a ball around on a field. Education should be the priority for a healthy, productive society, but not in America. it is way down at the bottom.
