Still not enough. Teachers deserve a higher salary and more credit for what they do every day.

Throwing money at the teachers to correct a crime problem is ridiculous! Use your law enforcement and city leaders, politicians etc to get this resolved!! Math books only hit so hard!!
-
Law enforcement? How about social services and mental health care. These are children.

This is great. I don’t know all the details of how teachers are evaluated in NY, but in FL, it’s about how their students do on the assessment tests. Newer teachers don’t have secure jobs and many are afaraid to work in poorer neighborhoods for fear the low scores will hurt them.

My wife deals with this every year. Teaching towards a test eliminates so much from the curriculum and the students’ ability to actually learn. I’m all for standards, but content and access to resources sorely lacks here. Students & teachers deserve better.

Make it 80k and the problem will be like it was never there in five years.
-
Won’t change the problem one bit. Can’t change the Parents by paying the Teacher more.
-
Ba-zing! Talking about supporting the kids, not changing the the parents.

So you have to give teachers combat pay to go in to the most liberally controlled schools in the country. If liberalism is so great why are these schools such shitholes that nobody wants to go there?

I went to an inner city school. Teachers deserve more than $8,000. They need help keeping students safe, order, community volunteers, parent involvement.

In Brazil... our teachers don't receave nothing to worked at poor place... FAVELAS=COMUNITYS It's reality

Most American teachers don’t, either. Localization money can actually make it so teachers in wealthier areas earn more to offset cost of living.

Is that $8,000/day after taxes because nothing less would be acceptable.

Okay but are they going get covered for everything they spend in a classroom? Otherwise that $8000 isn’t worth much.

Its such a shame that they have to be bribed to work there, but I suppose its not only teachers who avoid such areas.
-
It’s not bribery; it’s fair compensation for a highly-skilled and extremely challenging position.
-
Despite the fact that children in the USA rank below 30th in reading/writing and math/science compared to the rest of the world? Teachers deserve fair compensation for that? Something needs to be done, I’m not sure this is the easy answer though.
-
Are you saying it’s the teachers’ fault? Imagine you have a class of 30 students who are already 2+ years behind when you start teaching them. Half of the students will not do any work at home, are continually disruptive and off task in class, and don’t care about their grades.
-
I’m saying it’s more complicated than just pumping more money into the situation.
-
You literally asked, “Teachers deserve fair compensation for that?”, inferring they do not.
