Bev Perdue wants to give teachers power? She can start with salary increases. We can't afford to pay teachers what they deserve but we can find an extra 30 million to go forward with new technology purchases? Teachers having to work an extra job to stay ahead of approaching debt is insane and that's what Perdue has pushed us towards: insanity. The governor should enjoy her remaining time in office because I'm confident she will be voted out during the next election.
