[QUOTE="druryj, post: 2894765, member: 10465"] I'll vote no on the tax increase, but the notion that teachers are overpaid is crap. Teachers in Oklahoma are way underpaid for what they do. If you can read this, thank a teacher. I retired from working in Higher Ed here in Oklahoma a couple years ago. No way was I overpaid for my level of education and the level of responsibilities I had . But I'm not complaining; I did okay...it's the poor saps in the classrooms down at K-12 that are getting the short end of the stick here. One of the main problems IMO, is we have way too many School Districts in this State. Last I counted, we were up around 480, in a state with 77 counties. Fix that problem and suddenly plenty of money will be there. We don't need that many Superintendents, their staffs, etc. ONE per county, maybe be two for the big counties of Oklahoma and Tulsa. Nah, I'm not buying this crap that teachers are overpaid. Administrative staffs are. [/QUOTE]
