They take on a extra student if needed. This is group A Then you have the teachers that get there a minute before school starts,, leave a minute after. They don't lend any extra effort. They complain about every kid in their class. They have no business teaching whatsoever. This is group B. Republicans think both A and B are one in the same. And the teachers union protects B way too much while A gets short end because of B
