original, but being an art teacher I thought it might bear
repeating: Art teachers get paid too much. I'm fed up with art
teachers and their hefty salary schedules. What we need here is
a little perspective. Of course they've had to go to college and
get degrees, some of them even masters degrees, but after all,
to do what? They try to teach kids useless stuff like drawing
and painting and about dead artists who never mattered much
anyway. If our kids need to learn such stuff, fine, but I see no
reason to pay more than minimum wage for someone to teach my kid
to play with clay and glue Popsicle sticks together. That's
right, instead of paying outrageous taxes, I'd give them $5.00
an hour (minimum wage rounded off somewhat). Each parent should
pay $5. per hour per day. Now, how many children does an art
teacher see a day, maybe, ohhh,
