 Re: The Cleveland Orchestra musicians speak out!

Jealousy?? I would rather think, *Priority*. The teachers in my old school district are also some of the "best in the world at what they do", passing the vast body of current math, science and literary knowledge forward to the society of tomorrow--all for a medium salary is less than $45,000 per 190 contract days of often more than 10 hours each. No vacation pay. Summers are simply periods of unemployment where most are required either to go back to school for educational improvement (at their own expense) or secondary employment to pay for family expenses. Priority?? My point is: the average classroom teacher in these United States is simply worth more to the intellectual and scientific well-being of our nation and world than a lot of other highly over-paid professionals I could mention--and they should be paid accordingly. $140,000 median muscian pay?? How about double "that" for the "median" grade or high school math, science, phy ed or music teacher??? What is the intelligence of society and it's subsequent higher standard of living worth to you???

Something to consider........the fact that you can read this can be attributed to your elementary school teachers, not the members of the Cleveland, New York or Vienna Orchestras. Think about that.

To JJM--I, too, have walked the picket lines for improved wages and condition of employment for my fellow teachers when the process of collective bargaining became hopelessly broken. We were on strike of over two, cold Wisconsin weeks and in danger of being fired--but our union prevailed and our jobs were saved with some concessions gained, but without "back pay". I've "paid my dues"--don't for one moment think that I have not.
