11. I don't know any teachers who support Obama's education policies.

Not one.

We are struggling to get teachers in my district to get involved in this election. We hold phone banks a couple nights a week. We only call teachers. So far, we've not found any who support RTTT. Most say they will vote for Obama, but they are very unhappy.

So this sentiment is not the least bit condescending. It's based on reality.
