Mainecat Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 AP Poll: 78 Percent Say Public School Teachers Aren't Paid Enough Source: Talking Points Memo/AP By Carole Feldman and Emily Swanson | April 23, 2018 10:55 am WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans overwhelmingly believe teachers don’t make enough money, and half say they’d support paying higher taxes to give educators a raise. The findings of the new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research come amid recent teacher strikes and other protests over low pay, tough classroom conditions and the amount of money allocated to public schools in several Republican-led states. Tens of thousands of Arizona teachers voted last week to strike after rejecting an offer of a 20-percent raise, because it didn’t include a vow from state lawmakers not to further cut taxes before providing more money for the state’s schools. “To educate children and barely get a living is obnoxious,” said Elaine Penman, a company manager in Tucson, Arizona, who added she and others went outside to cheer on protesting teachers who were marching by. She’s among the 50 percent of Americans who say they’d pay a higher tax bill if it meant more money for teachers.

Anler Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 The thing about teachers is there are really good ones and really bad ones. I think it's a pretty Noble profession but some of these people just shouldn't be in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front of classroom teachers are underpaid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make 100K here, what you then get is more drawn to the profession for the perks, rather than the love of the career. There are good and real bad ones and rampant abuse of the system with protections that hinder efficiencies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zambroski Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 My father always told me, "If you ever complain that you aren't being paid enough, look over your shoulder at the applicants that are ready and able to take your position. Your pay corresponds with those numbers." The goal to $$$ is to perform at levels few can replicate. Unions and tenures "fix" this performance model....against all rules of free market principles and create stagnancy and poor performance in the workplace. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the Arizona teachers strike on the news by you? They get shit there. It's like that in many other states too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
