      ICYMI: Thousands of Colorado teachers demonstrated at the state Capitol for better wages and greater support for public education last week. As a former Superintendent, here are some of my thoughts on the rallies. 👇🏼

      First and foremost, we must listen to our teachers and educators. It was great to see former colleagues and friends on Friday as they spoke out about their experiences. #edcolopic.twitter.com/tfJ7BIPjZZ

      A few important stats: Colorado teachers are now earning less than they did 15 years ago, when compared to inflation. The gap between what a college graduate makes as a teacher and what she could make in another profession in our state is the largest in the country.

          Shrinking state budgets have increased class sizes, reduced vital support for students like mental health services & special education, and sometimes slashed school weeks to 4 days. We cannot allow mindless budget shortfalls to force wrongheaded changes to our kids' education.

          Coloradans want to take the long view and invest in our state’s future. To do this, we cannot neglect our schools. As a first step, we must find some way to prune the fiscal underbrush that threatens so deeply our investments in the future. Our children deserve better.

          The Colorado teacher walkouts are part of a growing movement around the country. Read more on why it's so important that we listen to our teachers:https://www.denverpost.com/2018/04/26/listening-to-our-teachers/ …

          Exactly. Stop grandstanding, using fluffy language. Actions matter.

          I think they blew it with the pot tax. It's great that it's going to be used for construction of new schools. 50% of it should have gone to fund and air condition existing schools and address teacher pay and the other half to construction. All the best Senator

          That's because 60% of teachers are worthless. All they want is more money, and that has been said for the past 40 years. Enough money. Try some real teaching and less complaining. How many vacation days do they get?

          I think you would find that most jobs in this country have suffered with wage loss due to inflation.this is not a beneficial add to the discussion.

          ‘SHE?’ You do realize we have male teachers too? I agree with your message however.

          Same in my state. Insurance rate increases coupled with no raises since the Obama stimulus = a pretty massively cut for our teachers.
