    Thank you for taking the time to share such a thorough, personal, and well thought perspective on the situation. I think people just can't understand the level of stress and personal investment that teachers carry with them day-in, day-out. Hard to believe some of the ugliness in this thread...

    The trajectory of insurance costs going up is pretty steady going back to at least 1999. Health care costs are a big problem but they aren’t a Republican/Democrat issue.
