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.

Execution, Afghanistan
Afghani man converts to Christianity and will possibly face the death penalty. Islamic law, the Sharia, forbids the worship or practice of Christianity among the Islamic people. President Karzia must convince the Judiciary board of Muslim fundamentalist conservatives to consider this decision in light of the current situation as Christianity has become an ally to these people. Or, has the U.S., in fact, become too involved in a situation beyond its control?
