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.

This is just for a self contained teaching schedule. Some teachers, my wife included, are on a blocking schedule. She teaches ELA related subjects while her "partner teacher" teaches the Maths and Sciences. The students rotate between classes mid way through the day. So if each homeroom has 30 kids, the teachers deal with 60 kids each day.

So you can double the problems associated with this:

- 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.

- Illegals being dumped into classrooms who speak no English and have never been in school before fricking up class for everyone.
