Teachers cheer, boo Obama

USA Today reports:
The crowd was mostly supportive and at times very enthusiastic today when Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama addressed the National Education Association. But USA TODAY's Greg Toppo reports that Obama also got some boos, as he did when he spoke to NEA last year, by calling again for teachers' pay to rise if their students do well on tests or if they take on added responsibilities.
No word yet why Obama sends his kids to private school.
