An educator who gets it

Dartman Jackson resigned as superintendent of Sabine parish schools when the school board overrode his requirement that central office employees work on Friday.  Jackson's comment  on workers putting in only four days work for five days pay impressed me. He said, "I just don't understand it.  We"re not special.  We're educators  We're  just in a different class of workers but we 're no better than the general public."

It is time all public employees, national, state and local, recognize this.  Those school workers should also realize that if five workers can get all of the tasks done in four days, then four workers can do it if five days, thus leading to the dismissal of one employee.
