Oklahoma's school system is a wreck


Isn't starting pay something completely asinine like 30K a year?

My wife's district starts at 50K in the Houston area.

Yeah it's a complete joke

Tulsa public schools are complete arse and union schools are so much better.

I can't wait until a true conservative replaces failin on another note

That's the underlying problem with public education. It's one of the easiest degrees to get at any university and because of that there are too many "qualified" teachers which keeps wages low.

Teaching should be a high wage career and becoming a teacher should me MUCH harder.

Yes, around 30k. We don't pay them shite here. It's pretty sad. I graduated with two ladies who are school teachers in my immediate area, and was friends with three more in the area during my school days. They are all (or were) married to guys with secure oil jobs. If not for that, they could literally not continue to be teachers.

They can make more in Oklahoma as a department manager at Wal-Mart. It's been a sad state of affairs for teachers here since I was still in high school in the 90s.

Depends on the school. A friend of mine got her first job (no MBA might I add) starting at 52k in Spring.
