Assuming story on ‘rasing’ teacher pay was written by person with some education..a teacher might have taught that person to use spell check and to proof read…we expect a great deal from teachers, more all the time, isn’t it time we provided them with a living wage AND the necessary physical tools and supplies, to do the job???
