if you think they don’t work that hard, you don’t know any K-8 teachers.

I know 3 actually

Won't someone think about the children? Like how come these "gods" of the classroom are passing though Johnny who can't read?
Spend more money get less results.
Schools need to support the classroom, kick out the miscreants and slash the fat in administration
But there is probably nothing that can be done
-
A vote for republicans is a vote to genocide teachers and students I’m told.
They just need more money and then they can overtake Bahrain for 39th in the world in math competency .

One really simple, low-cost fix would be to actually impose consequences for chronic absenteeism. Can't teach kids who aren't in school.
The current generation of parents may be the worst ever on this issue.
-
Passing the buck after a challenge to a fair point.
Whoever didn’t see that coming should blame a teacher..

I taught my kids during Covid for almost two years. I’m not qualified. Teachers are the shit, and as someone said, junior high teachers are probably up for sainthood. It’s the layers and layers of positions between teachers and principles and principles and superintendents that needs to be looked into. Drop those non-teaching “educators” back into classrooms and you’re fixing the teacher shortage. You really want to trim fat? Cut deep into the state colleges. My goodness, that’s a mess.

When the FBI investigates parents who want to get involved it is a bit of a chilling effect
Schools are actively hostile to parents
And parents are shitty. Both can be true

My neighbors are retired, fixed retirement income, never made more the 60k in their entire career salt of the earth folks. They had a niece, a teacher, and sister in law who works in admin at UW, reach out for assistance for school supplies. I looked up their salaries, explained that both the sister in law and niece both make over 100k a year, and they quickly decided to decline providing assistance.
-
Begs the question. Why are teachers either digging into their own pockets or bothering the neighbors for help with school supplies?
-
My FBI file must be really thick,

I’m fine paying teachers, provided they are good and evaluated. Not ok paying an army of admins. There are something like 11m education employees nationwide and over half are admins. The admins are required in many cases because of regulation from DoE.
-
You're getting hysterical now. Perhaps if that teacher not only reaches the 200K plateau (which was the absolute highest example, not the mean or median) but also lives to be 140.

"The near doubling of chronic absenteeism since 2018 isn't a problem", declared pawz.

Bad with money.
-
I was told that teachers didn’t get into it for the money but for the love of the children.
And free summers👍

I guess if you're retarded, you might see a conflict between enjoying your job and expecting to be paid.
-
This is like 8yo rolling around on a mat level mental gymnastics.
Do better.

#likeable!
-
Then you would know why your post is retarded.
There's a lot of shit to bitch about. Bitching that teachers don't work enough is one of the dumbest things I've ever read here. Middle school teachers especially as others have said. The amount of shit they put up with would put most of you in a rubber room.
@Goduckies you can fuck off my posts all you want, you're still not cool enough to join the club.
-
I never said they don’t work enough.
I said that 112k a year plus benefits and pension is P good for getting summers off.Your homeroom kids being extra salty today or what?
-
"No one teaching K-8 is working THAT hard."
go do it for a day then, shit for brains.
-
Those that can't do, teach
-
Teacher's retire at either the highest or second highest rate as millionaires. Dave Ramsey talks about it all the time.
These are people that work 9/12 and retire ~55 on average. These are also generally people that can't pass algebra 2.
I'm fine with it, I pay my kids Teacher's at private really well because I want them to get a good education.
Let's put to bed that Teacher's are some lower class roughneck's downtrodden by society.
110% behind slashing administration in education.
-
I stand by my statement. I’m sorry you got mad.
But hey, you got off a half hour ago and have the whole afternoon to decompress and vent over 12yo Braden talking back to you during social studies🤷♂️
Teaching is a very important job. We want good educators who are paid fairly…preferably merit-based. Currently our public schools are failing miserably, so something has to change. I’ve never advocated for lower salaries for teachers but what I am saying is that y’all aren’t exactly living in poverty. I’d like to see a higher % of my tax dollars flow to you and your students and less toward administrators.
That’s all. Again…it’s important work, but let’s not pretend that it’s 80hrs a week on an Oil Derrick for minimum wage.
-
Ramsey specifically uses the example of teachers becoming millionaires to illustrate that you don't have to have a high income to become a millionaire. Undercuts your argument, actually.

Laughed as there are 2 Braden’s and 3 Hudson’s in my daughter class. Also two Chloe’s and two Sophie’s.
