Harford County teachers deserve a raise

Regarding your article about Harford County teachers, our teachers were promised a significant raise and weren't given it ("High school teachers stage protest in Harford County," May 30).

We wouldn't be where we are today without teachers, and they're underappreciated. They don't make a lot of money, so they deserved this raise.

Instead, all of our money is going toward athletes and singers, who aren't doing anything to shape our world. I hope these protests work out, because these teachers undoubtedly have earned the money.
