why mental health has become an issue. non struggling folks now know how it is to have their hand out and use their inexperience as a crutchEverything is expensive. In America it’s all about ripping off the next guy.
Im cheap.
Thats it.
Very proud of you for doing that and I hope they listen. My wife is actively seeking to leave teaching. Only job where you are supposed to put everyone ahead of yourself even your personal financial situation.I’m actively trying to discourage students from being teachers everywhere.
I want a nationwide teacher strike.
Jobs everywhere but why would someone come THERE to teach?
Legit asking because there is a teacher shortage in damn near every state in America.
Can't see this happening. That ain't flying in The Top 5/6 states where teachers are paid well. People in DC complain about things but they are paid WELL.
In Denver Public schools you need your Doctorate and at least 14 years of experience before you will see $100K. This is after teachers had to go out on strike a few years ago so it was much worse beforeI come in peace but how many teachers are making more than 100k in public schools in D.C. and how many years of experience and degrees do they need to make that?
If a starting teacher in DC is making 65k how is that paid well when people in this thread are saying 100k isn’t enough in high COL areas?
Educate me if Im wrong,
My girlfriend’s mom is a tenured remedial math teacher at a public school in Nassau County. She makes $140K/year.

Colorado is 49 of 50 states when it comes to teacher pay which is ridiculous given how wealthy the state as a whole is.That doesn’t shock me. NY is one of the highest earning states for teachers. But she has probably been teaching 30+ years to get to that.Probably purchased a house decades ago. She’s good. But when it comes to teacher salaries she’s an anomaly not the norm.
But the reason there is a teacher shortage is that her generation is retiring and there is no benefit for a younger generation to take up the profession.
Low starting pay, high COL, poor work conditions, high stress job. Once Gen X is done with the work force it’s going to be bad.
That is still ridiculously low in comparison to other professions with that level of education and experience.
If you want to eat good you have to spend money ..$600/month on food? Damn...I'd hate to see what her budget was like before chatgpt.

Y’all see schools going to more remote and self guided lessons if the teacher shortage trend gets worse? Parents ain’t having that tho, need their childcare and time away from the kids that in person learning provides
Oh yeah I wasn't trying to act like she was the norm, just piggybacking off of ballinsam23 's comment.That doesn’t shock me. NY is one of the highest earning states for teachers.

Considering how well kids deal with distractions (not well), going forward with remote instruction at or below 12th grade is guaranteeing that we will have a nation of dumdums. You really want to get a filling from a self-taught dentist?Y’all see schools going to more remote and self guided lessons if the teacher shortage trend gets worse?

Well if they don’t have the teachers to learn from it would be the same results as that self taught dentistConsidering how well kids deal with distractions (not well), going forward with remote instruction at or below 12th grade is guaranteeing that we will have a nation of dumdums.

Nothing beats in-person instruction IMO, from the immediate feedback from instructors/peers to being in an environment conducive to learning, which includes having access to facilities where you can practice whatever you're learning.

Agreed. Just pointing out that it's unrealistic to expect adequate results from a mostly remote education system.Well if they don’t have the teachers to learn from it would be the same results as that self taught dentist
They gotta keep legit teachers else in person won’t matter when it’s lead by just anybody
