And 3 months vacation time, what an injustice. And try firing an incompetent teacher - transferred to the green room for life with full pay and benefits.
The average teacher salary has gone down over the last decade and too many are working multiple jobs to make ends meet. We’ve failed to give teachers the respect they deserve. That’s why I’ve released a plan to provide the average teacher a $13,500 raise: http://kamalaharris.org/teachers .

Nice try.. we don’t get three months vacation. We work until the first week of June, we go back the first week of August. Do the Math, if you can. I also work the entire summer preparing for the following year. Try walking a day in our shoes . You will fall flat on your face.

How about also asking my city to reduce taxes for those of us who send our kids to private schools? Can you add that in? Some of us work a couple jobs so we can afford a private education for our kids and it would be helpful to take away some of the public school tax burden.

Yep. That’s why I had to put my kid into private school. Nothing was being done for her in public

You are right. Congress has given themselves huge expense accounts and ridiculous pensions. They should put in at least 20, like everyone else. They also should fly commercial. This includes the speaker.

This is something I can get behind. Education is the biggest problem we have as a nation. Paying those who teach is a great start to fixing a whole host of issues. Relatively small investment for the potentially enormous return.

As a teacher, I made $92,000 a year when I retired 11 years ago. The district paid most of my excellent health care. My pension is $61,000 per year and I receive $100 per month toward my Medicare Supplement insurance. I would have a bigger pension but I retired 1 year early...
