Where teachers can get free food and discounts for Teacher Appreciation Week May 6-10Teacher Appreciation Week starts Monday, May 6 and businesses across the nation are showering educators with freebies and special discounts. They are appreciated to an extent. Here in NC they whine about raises every chance they get. They receive a lifetime pension with lots of benefits. We have an education lottery, yet money is always a problem. They walkout for more money instead of doing their jobs. Quit whining More than 7% spend more than $1000 dollars a year but we do not have time to sit and collect receipts when we are tending to 100s of children plus our own biological children. Often items that were bought for our household end up going to our students. Please remind people that the deduction for teachers ( tiny $250) disappeared under the new tax law. This administration supports no one except the rich!
