Except teachers aren’t paid by the federal government. Nice pandering to the teacher unions though.
The teacher plan I released this week would give the average teacher a $13,500 raise and ensure they’re paid their value. When we invest in our nation’s teachers, we’re investing in our children’s future. Find out more about our plan at http://kamalaharris.org/teachers .

Actually states get quite a bit of federal dollars for education.

I'm all for pay for performance. Not raises to get raises.

Quite an understandable argument. But educating a child takes 3 factors. A, the teacher, B, the parents reinforcing what is taught, and C, the child's willingness to learn. It is not always the teachers fault a student fails.

Excellent! Ppl with master’s degrees should not have to work 2 jobs...hope it trickles down. As a MS.Ed/LPC in community MH, I make less than teachers. I end up working 50+hr weeks & salaried = no OT pay. There’s no time left for 2nd job.

As a teacher, I had 80 hour weeks with no overtime. Lost weekends to debate tournaments & prep for class/grading. 3 master’s degrees. My pension is just a little over $1,000/month. Medicare is my insurance. 36 years teaching. Yes, I chose it, but at the time teachers had better.

More pandering, working hard to get those teachers unions behind you with empty promises.

$13,500? Awesome. In 2016 there were 3.6 MILLION full-time Teachers in the US. That will increase the US Budget by $47.25 TRILLION. 1) Where will this $47.25 Trillion come from? 2) Will Part-time Teachers & Subs be included? 3) How about Admin & Staff? https://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/display.asp?id=28 …pic.twitter.com/kqFMLb2OER
