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.

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.

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....

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.

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.
