    The teacher strikes are far from over. In Washington, teachers want higher salaries. They say they're fed up with paying for school supplies out of their own pocket and working extra hours.https://usat.ly/2MiX1Pm

        Meanwhile, their union leaders support Socialist Democrats with huge donations. Someone needs to explain to union members, if Socialists succeed, these teachers are either out of work or getting lower wages. No one but the ultra rich or ultra poor enjoy socialism.

        Oh no. they're all over local social media crying about the "evil" administration that doesn't realize they are self-sacrificing heroes training the leaders of tomorrow... it's quite sickening.

        As a former teacher, I think teachers are underpaid but I would have been happy with that salary

        I think GOOD teachers can't be paid enough. But they aren't all GOOD. And there is no measure in place for performance. It's the self-righteous preening I can't stand.

        Sounds like the same demands teachers have made since I was a child ,back in 56.

        Does that 63k “ average” include administrators and teachers with advanced degrees? If so, recalculate. What is the starting salary in the Sea/Tac area? What is the average rent and home prices? The tone is -how dare some teachers get a decent salary for education &experience!
