We spend $15,424 per student per year
$15,424 * 25 students per class
= $385,600
Teachers only make $60k
Where does the other $325,600 go?
Public school teachers in America consistently have to use their own money to pay for school supplies while we continue to dedicate funding to militarizing the police. It’s time to ask our local leaders to re-examine our community’s priorities and their budgets.

Teachers are also being laid off and furloughed in huge numbers right now.

I am one of them. How do you furlough a teacher when there is a national shortage?

And now add that those of us who often work a 2nd and 3rd over the summer lost that opportunity due to the pandemic.

Perhaps you should eliminate a few redundant administrative positions and spend that money on education!

This can’t be overstated. I regularly spent between $4,000 & 8,000 a year while teaching. At least then it was tax deductible. Trump & the GOP took that away to give the 1% a huge tax cut they didn’t need and didn’t use to help others.
-
Exactly! The tax deduction amounts have diminished over the years. The only profession that can’t deduct more than $250. Ridiculous!
