Public School Employees Are Generous

From The Olympian, a couple weeks back:

“They met our goals and then doubled it — incredible....” The generosity of public employees in this community is incredible.

Okay, so I've selectively quoted from an article that's really about a food and book drive.

But when you stop to think that the average teacher works an additional two hours per day, stocks supplies that don't fit into a shrinking budget, takes additional classes to stay certified, and helps students of widely different needs meet new requirements, all with minimal or no added compensation, it really is true. The generosity of public school teachers in this community is incredible.
