@dequitz This is not a statement about teacher salaries. It is about teachers seeking out resources to provide students what they need to succeed in school.

He gets 2.5 billion for a stupid wall that we don’t need or want & teachers have to buy supplies for students with their own money. Does this make sense to anyone?
