Given what I've seen and heard from more than a few of them, I'd say they need to ask for a refund on their tuition.Saw a thing on the 9 news at 10. They talked about how teachers are the lowest paid college educated persons today. Other low college degrees were in the $50's now. But, I wonder if they work 42 weeks a year with 10 weeks vacation? Sick days? Personal days? Take my child to doctor days? My wife's a teacher.
Pay them I say. Normal business hours and vacations, 50/2 lIke the rest of us (well some, I've only had 8 weekdays off since Christmas 2016 ex 4 holidays). Kids could graduate in 10 years rather than 12, 9 if you include prek and kindergarten. Graduation at 16. 2 years service in a trade or business, then to college for those so inclined.
I know a lot more that will because they love teaching too. The state is really at a point of loosing its best teachers because of the lack of adequate compensation."If we do it the first week of April, that would be during standardized state testing, which would be a great time to say, 'Hey, we're going on strike, and we're not going to give these tests,'"
Yeah, that's it. Screw the kids minds over (testing next week, be ready...NO NOT REALLY). Not like those tests are important to the school system or funding or anything. Good on 'em (sarcasm complete). I know a whole bunch of teachers that I can say for certain will not strike. Their like cops/Firemen/EMTs and Grunts, they do it because they love it.
