re: Give teachers a raise....Nah.

- More and more students forced into larger class sizes. Teaching 30,40 + kids at once is absurd for most topics.

- Parents are increasingly a fricking nightmare.

- Students are increasingly a fricking nightmare.

- Students who never pass a single class just coast through the system so you have high schoolers operating at a grade school level fricking up class for everyone else.

Oh, I wouldn't want to be a teacher either because of the things you listed, but the working conditions are a separate issue IMO.

Here's why: How much would you estimate would be "worth it" to deal with the things you listed?

Personally, anything with fewer than six zeros (not six figures, six ZEROS) would be too little for me.

You might have a different number, but I'll bet it will have one important thing in common with mine: I'll bet it wouldn't be at all feasible to apply across the board.

So what that tells me is that working conditions need to be fixed rather than salaries raised to make it "worth it" to put up with the working conditions.
