This is factually true but it doesn't mean that we can't take pride on our communities and pay teachers well.

Well, if GRT's post is accurate than we pay 50% more for EBR students than LP. What is the right amount? Because there doesn't seem to be a positive correlation between funding and results.

Do I need to provide links? It’s easily google-able.

When I started at EBR library -the starting pay for a librarian (masters degree required) was $36,000 - to be a librarian in EBR public schools (no masters degree required - just a certificate - which I have, too) starting pay was $47,000

I went to the public library

The two things are not that connected. We can still take pride in our schools, pay professionals well, and not participate in a race to the bottom.

I'm not sure the "oh yeah what you gonna do? go to Baton Rouge? lol" approach is the winning approach.

OTers mostly agree that making less than $100k sucks so it's fascinating to watch them act like teachers make good salaries.
