Teachers in it "For the Money"

There was a piece on, I think it was, the NBC morning show today about teachers. I only caught a brief part where someone was saying some teachers are "in it for the money".


I have never met that teacher. Would you please identify yourself!?


I guess facts do not get in the way of teacher bashing by some folks.

FACT: (emphasis added)
