Congrats and thank you Josh

Wonder how he feels about the two Unionista Lobbyists who are getting $1Million Each in taxpayer funded pensions for teaching ONE DAY as substitute teacher ?

Thanks Josh... Not only from me but from your students who will better appreciate your concern for their education as they grow older.

Yeah, it's easy to pick someone from an upscale school district. Try awarding it to someone who is part of a rough community and accomplishes good things.

I know the school district they picked from. Only reason I commented. What a joke.
