"A lot of what has happened and honestly it really pains me, a lot of people have been blaming and scape-goating teachers because they don't want to put the money into the schools system that deserve the support that comes from the government doing its job... You know, teachers do so much good, they are often working under most difficult circumstances. So anything that could be changed, I want them to look at it. I will be a good partner to make sure that whatever I can do as president, I will do to support the teachers of our country."
