WTF is this, are they going to start giving everyone tax credits who just do their jobs? |
How often do you spend your own money to outfit your office at work? Guessing not often and surely not out of necessity. Most teachers have to go out and buy their own bookshelves and other furniture if they actually care enough to do so.
Most classrooms are completely bare bones aside from the essentials, nothing wrong with paying people back for taking the time to make the classrooms of children a little better. Its hilarious how little people value funding education when its the single most important service we can provide.
I'm not a huge fan of the PC's but when your options are voting for a party that thinks post secondary education should be free of charge in a few years/want's to cut everyone meaningless rebate cheques and the other that won't actually commit to what its plans are in any way i'd say you don't have much choice.
