The fact that by law for working as an educator you are required to be fingerprinted and cpr/first aid is absolutely understandable, what is bullshit is that you are required to pay for it and it is not reimbursed

Title says it all, absolutely yes happy to provide fingerprints and be certified in cpr/first aid/aed but the fact that is a REQUIREMENT TO DO THE JOB but has to come out of our own pocket just irks the hell out of me. If it is a requirement to be able to do the job then it needs to be paid for BY THE JOB! Thanks for coming to my TedTalk
