Wow, it sounds like teachers have it bad. Not enough money, not enough supplies, not enough help and you would like parents to come in and help you out. Well that sounds like my job that I barely am holding on to. I barely make enough to keep a roof over my head and food on the table, afraid to miss a day because I may not have a job when I come back in and am being asked to do more and more everyday to make up for cutbacks without any compensation. But I'm sure you have it worse so I will come help you out. How about doing the best you can like we all are until things turn around.
