What a winner! This is the police officer who was assigned to my case when my son was hit by a car while riding a bicycle. Guess what, they never found the guy who ran over him.

@kennyroaw-- First, one conjugates verbs, not sentences. Second, while the police may not be overpaid, teachers are most certainly undervalued, regardless of whose children they are teaching. And please stop shouting.

Hey Anonymous...FIRST: Learn to conjugate a sentence. SECOND: Police officers deal with the looming spectre of death EVERY DAY, as well as dealing with other things which you could not possibly comprehend...whereas a TEACHER deals with YOUR snotnosed kids. THATS WHY.
