One recurring theme I keep hearing from CAR is lets go back to the good days!

Here is what I remember of the good old days. Teachers got Summer jobs, didnt live in my upper middle class neighborhood, they commuted from more affordable neighborhoods 20 to 30 minutes away and they drove late model cars.

My Sunday school teacher was also a principal and his twin brother a teacher. They both taught religious school to supplement their income. They also had a roofing business on weekends and full time in the Summer (I worked a Summer job with them). They drove older cars.

Now roll forward to today. My daughters 3rd grade teacher recently bought a nicer house than most of the students live in. She’s married to another teacher in the district. The teachers lot is full of BMW’s, Range Rover, Lexus and Benz’s. Most teachers dont work over the Summer. I know a few that spend it in Maui and some of the younger ones who went trekking in Nepal last Summer. Oh how they must long for the good old days!
