Oh, go ahead, let all your friends and aquaintances who are teachers know TeRAYzah thinks they don’t work for a living. Really. Seriously. Here’s the question to THK by USAToday and her response:
Q: You’d be different from Laura Bush?
A: Well, you know, I don’t know Laura Bush. But she seems to be calm, and she has a sparkle in her eye, which is good. But I don’t know that she’s ever had a real job — I mean, since she’s been grown up. So her experience and her validation comes from important things, but different things. And I’m older, and my validation of what I do and what I believe and my experience is a little bit bigger — because I’m older, and I’ve had different experiences. And it’s not a criticism of her. It’s just, you know, what life is about.
OK, I added the emphasis because of this little tidbit listed in Laura Bush’s bio:
Career and Public Service
Public school teacher and librarian in the Houston, Dallas and Austin school systems; First Lady of Texas; First Lady of the United States.
So, if Laura Bush’s experience teaching and as a school librarian doesn’t count as a “real job” then neither does the work experience of any other teacher you know… at least as far as Mrs. sKerry is concerned.
Let ’em know.
