As a general statement, teachers are underpaid and definitely under appreciated. Many times they are not only a teacher but “parents”for the kids too. You should talk to some teachers and there are a lot of excellent teachers. BTW there is a critical shortage of teachers. Not all facilities are like those at Middleton either. Sports do have a big part to play especially at the middle school and high school level of education. A good coach and their assistant can make a difference in the lives of their students.
