Over worked and under paid, but that's not the problem!
You want better education for your children? Then please do NOT be deceived by the Republican Party and the Christian Coalition who want us to accept a pay raise while they busily segregate our upper echelon kids away to private schools and think we'll be happy. It's all about them not wanting their kids mixed with the less fortunate kids. It's a pay off, my friend, not a pay raise. It's not the money that will make us better teachers and it's not whether you teach in a private school or a public school. It's how much responsibility we ALL choose to bear from birth through-out graduation.

Republican Alphabet Soup
So, you know what the IRA is. How about the CIRA? ORM? INLA? IPLO? Over the last 30 years there have been quite a number of republican paramilitary groups active in Northern Ireland, not to mention the various other "flags of convenience" that these groups have sometimes used. The common ancestor of all these groups is the IRA of the late 1960s; numerous splits and feuds since then have given birth to these different groups, some of which are still around and some of which are not.
