These are really good ads. Teachers say, I love spending my own money on supplies. Our 1913 maps have almost all the states. We don’t need a thing. This is Hefty’s #saidnoteacherever campaign.
Is the American public subtle enough to understand sarcasm?

LOVE this campaign. The first positive one for teachers I’ve seen in a while.

That’s great! I hope a lot of teachers and parents will see this and Hefty will see a positive gain from it.

Ohmy god… wonderful but you mad a good point, the sarcasm could fly over the heads of to man dumbed-down, Fox-loving, people who think anyone can teach.

You think those people would be swayed by anything?

Perhaps your joyous, unbridled disdain and condemnation for teachers, like me, who have opposing political views but also stand in the waist-deep troubles we all share, will stop being so flippant.

The sarcasm works as do teachers. Politicians, not so much.

Right, the sarcasm may be too much to get for those who already think that we do earn too much and have benefits that the private sector isnt getting these days.
Maybe Ecole Weinstein’s first name says it all about her family’s values. Thank you for encouraging awareness, School Weinstein.
