No, there are a lot of great teachers who do the job because they want to teach kids and make a difference. Unfortunately, in Buffalo anyway, they are represented by a terribly corrupt union that doesn’t give a shit about kids and only wants to grab every penny they can, often at the expense of the kids. ---
