I work for a school district. Anyone who thinks that the professionals that a school employs don't work their tails off they're dead wrong. I am not trying to start an argument biz, but the passion and hard work I have seen inside a school is not matched anywhere else from what I have seen.
Sure you have exceptions, but thats no different than with anything else, including our sport. We get upset when we get thrown into the same category as slob hunters, same concept.
