Time to end sweet deal for teachers

Enough already! I'm tired of reading every day in the paper about teachers and administrators and their pensions. how do you justify retired teachers getting over $100,000 a year in pension for sitting on their butts doing nothing. They are not worth that much working. Let's face it, teachers are overrated and overpaid.

It's time that the state gets smart and not treat these people like they're special. It's not that hard of a job.

Maybe your college educators are worth it but everyday, run-of-the-mill grade school teachers, get real. What a joke getting over $100,000 a year and be retired. It's not only a crime but you are breaking one of the 10 commandments: Thou shalt not steal, which you are doing to the tax payers of Illinois. C'mon lawmakers, stop the bleeding.
