113Tidbits: Public School Teachers Fail Integrity Check

Isn't it just great to find out that the people supposedly offering your child a top-notch education are entrepreneurial as well? Selling lesson plans online at brokerage sites and such. When does the teacher put in the work? So here we are in the digital age getting and giving the future leaders of this country, "one size fits all" education". Why not simply make it a twitter feed and all of the students can stay home and learn via twitter?

"Thousands of teachers are using websites like Teachers Pay Teachers and We Are Teachers to cash in on a commodity they used to give away, selling lesson plans online for exercises as simple as M&M sorting and as sophisticated as Shakespeare. While some of this extra money is going to buy books and classroom supplies, the new teacher-entrepreneurs are also spending it on dinners out, mortgage payments, credit card bills, vacation travel and even home renovation, raising questions over who owns material developed for public school classrooms."

What are your thoughts, ideas or complaints on this subject? Is it ok for a teacher to buy a lesson plan from another teacher. Making education work as an entrepreneur may help the teachers that are paid less than landscapers in many counties across America.
