Michael may not remember, or even realize, that a few years ago, teachers in the Portland Public Schools  worked for 10 days WITHOUT PAY to avoid a shortened school year and renegotiated a contract that increased their contributions to health care.  I do wish that people would do their homework (pun intended) before picking on teachers!
