is wrong. Dividing three or more ways requires "among". The only things not is a woeful state in the public schools are the paychecks and the pensions. In too many places the new hire is related to someone on the school committee, or is part of a hiring swap...."you hire MY kid, I hire YOURS".. wink wink.
Exactly.
Get this: A professor who has taught physics, chemistry, etc. for over 20 years at the University level is invited by a neighbor (who teaches science in HS) to help the HS system improve their science courses so as to prepare students for college and university courses and to compete in the world.
The professor commits to the project gratis and the school principle approves.
Two weeks later the Prof. gets a letter that his services are terminated because this Prof. has not taken certain courses as required by the local Teacher's Union.
So, who controls the school boards, Teachers Unions or the tax payer citizens?
