      There’s a movement growing across this country, from West Virginia to Oklahoma and Arizona to Kentucky, and now in Colorado. Educators are raising their voices for fair pay and adequate resources to help their students succeed.

      When these teachers speak out, they’re fighting for all of us – especially our kids. They’re asking for the chance to focus their energy on giving students the best education possible. We need to stand with them.

      Colorado teachers walked out today. Teacher pay in that state ranks 46th in the country. Educators are paid about $7,000 less than the national average. This can’t be how we treat people who dedicate their lives to our shared future.

      The Colorado Education Association found that teachers spend an average of $656 from their own pockets, each year, to make sure their students have what they need. This is the wrong way to fund our kids’ education.

          As more teachers organize and raise their voices, they need to hear from us. Let’s tell teachers now: We’re with you. Stay with it, and stay together. And thank you for caring for our kids and their futures as you do for your own.

          As the husband of a teacher, I can assure you we spent waaay more than $656 dollars for my wife's classroom last year. I call it the teacher tax, and for us it averages closer to about $2500 a year.

          Thats to pay for things that the school won't approve, like candy.

          FACT: Districts that spend the most on students have the lowest rankings. Education is not about teaching or money; education is about learning. That responsibility is the student's and his parents.... 😀🇨🇭

          How much mandatory dues are the teachers paying to support the lobbyist's high salary & donations to politicians?

          The appallingly low wages of college and university adjunct faculty often mean they moonlight elsewhere, rely on public assistance, or are subsidized by family members so that they can remain in classrooms. @NYSUT @uupinfo #RespectTeachers @DellaPiaForNY23

          Thanks for the rebuke. The way to fix this is for the teachers to stop spending their own money. Work with what you have, get creative. Call on parents and local business, tap their creativity etc.
