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.

Thank you Democrats for caring about us teachers because we know that Republicans never have.

Al Franken would have helped. Were you thinking of these teachers and students when you stabbed Senator Franken in the back?

I’m so glad I’m a teacher. No teacher gets into the profession for the money. They get into the profession to make a difference and how does our government honor that? By underfunding the most important profession and forcing teachers to use their small paycheck to help kids.

True! What @ NYC with Charter Schools? They are a horror story for students, breaking Unions, ruining teachers rights... and they are funded by tax payers dollars, in public schools and public places. This is worse than poor pay for teachers; this is stealing teachers jobs!

Indeed. Where would we be without teachers? Our entire nation would come to a screeching halt.

Yes. Why can my buddy in finance deduct the cost of baseball tickets, but teachers have limits on what they can deduct?

Plot on a graph the amount of money spent on education since, say, 1950, and against that the educational achievement obtained by the largely functional illiterate graduates of today. Note the spikes downward of the latter and the rise of teacher unions and USDE.

Meanwhile, billionaires are funding multilayered campaigns to take away our right to organize. Stand up to that!

How does any of this relate to NYS???? Work in a district for 15 years and you'll be over $100k with 3 months off and no way to get fired for sucking at your job. Oh and don't forget about the pensions. Again, how does this relate to your constituents?
-
Uh that is several years of teaching and a graduate level degree before you get to the very top step in the NYC public school system salary schedule. Many jobs in New York City have a starting salary of $100,000.
-
Agreed, I said abt 15 yrs exp and you can't compare a teacher to a business job. 100k w/ a pension for life is a pretty sweet gig and more than enough to provide fair housing and not be bottom tier. In both employee situations they made a conscious decision to go into that field

If that person is married with a family you also need to factor in the cost savings and benefits of being off 3 mths a yr (1 full qtr!) and savings in child care and also physically being there with your kids which is hard to monetarily quantify but definitely has an impact.
