Are you F'ing kidding me???? A 2% teacher myself, I- like every EMT, Police, Fire and Emergency worker give 110% EVERYDAY. Any thought that any of us public service workers would shirk their abilities - or even work to their pay raises- soundly underestimates why we got into these fields to begin with
