Guest525 - Yes, I AM the legislative chair for NCATA, a position I do on my own time. I am an appointed VOLUNTEER, not a paid lobbyist. I am a teacher assistant and VERY PROUD to stand up for the 26,000 North Carolina teacher assistants (Total = Federally,State,and Locally Paid) who work very, very hard (for very little pay) to help our students achieve. It makes me sad that there are people who dismiss us as if all our hard work means nothing. We DO make a difference!
Your point?
