'The offer would have put 10th step teachers, who make up 90 percent of the city’s 879 teachers, at more than $79,000 in the first year.'

Herein lies the problem. Most teachers are making great money. They only work 180 days a year, minus vacation time, personal days, sick days, and professional days. They already have weekends, long holiday weekends, and the best weeks of the year off. They can be paid through the summer or work it or take it off.

While I know teaching is not as easy as it once was, it's never been more lucrative.

If there are any misspelled words in my comments...blame a Warwick teacher.
