If you have young children you can be with them when they are sick, you can be with your kids over the summer, you'll have the health benefits that makes it possible to have a family. Anything that makes it harder for people to be both parents and teachers is going to drive folks from the profession, and I suggest that going after sick days, personal days, and insurance benefits would do just that.<br /><br />Consider Google, <a href = "http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/bestcompanies/">recently chosen</a> as the best place to work in America. On-site doctors and massage therapists, free lunches, thousands of dollars of other perks a year. Sure, they're private sector, but contrast that to what Roza suggests: less health benefits, less time off, more work vis-a-vis higher class sizes.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01136112516250432897noreply@blogger.com
