i know several teachers and 2 school principals who voted for JBE. They all melted at the $400 raise thing.

Since you guys got a raise I'm going to have to ask you to start tipping when you come into my restaurant. It's the least you guys can do after treating my servers like shite and acting the arse after two margaritas

But then you’d have to actually go to work and produce results. Probably best to stay where you are.

I hate to pile on because honestly I appreciate the work of good teachers and I do think they are underpaid. That being said one of my best buds is teacher and a coach and he has more free time than anyone I know. He gets most of his work done before he leaves campus. Maybe you have more responsibilities IDK but I never hear him complain and in fact one of the reasons he stays teaching despite the pay is the amount of free time he has to pursue other interests and hobbies.

Still waiting to see evidence that this is happening in public schools. You’re baby sitters. You’re paid accordingly.

and then they are off 3-4 months out the year.

I'd work 12 hours a day anytime for 3-4 months off and a job to return to guaranteed.

$28 is like three trips to the next rally to keep schools closed in these uncertain times.

So many ppl think teachers get so much time off, but don’t realize most stay late and go on weekends and during the summer.

So, just like all of the other white collar jobs out there; attorneys, accountants, engineers, insurance, IT, grocery/retail store managers...

You don't think other professions require this IN ADDITION to working full time 12 months per year?

summer technology and in service classes


Again. Many other professions require their employees to do these things in addition to working full time.

Not to mention school isn’t out 3 months, less than 2.5.


There is no school in June and July. Two full months.

Two weeks off for Christmas. Now you're up to 2.5 months

In addition, many schools (at least in this area) will give a week off for Thanksgiving, Mardi Gras, and Easter/Spring break. Combine all of those any you are now OVER 3 months of school being out.

$40k for NINE months of in class work is equivalent to $53k for 12 months. Not to mention the very generous retirement plan; good health insurance and (at many schools) Tenure...a completely foreign concept outside of academia

No one is saying teaching is an easy profession. But most of the working world doesn't give a shite about your constant bellyaching

I don't even know how many but a shite ton including pre Rona a week of in person training in Florida and client needs don't stop during that time. So 8-4 on training and then typically 4:30 to 8 or so getting client work to at least a point you can put it off until your back in the office.

Sorry I don't feel bad you have a 2 day seminar once a summer on how to use an iPad

my Mom(no pics,) was a school teacher, she was just the opposite of today's whiners, she couldn't believe her good fortune of having the opportunity to teach kids and help them develop, get paid for it, and have as much time off as she did, what did she do with that time off? worked in my Dad's office helping him run his company
