Move to another state. I don’t understand why teachers bitch about the pay when they knew what they were getting when they signed up.

My wife irks in the school system as a speech pathologist. She took a 45k a year pay cut to work in the school system 9 years ago in order to have the time off and benefits associated with working for the state. I make good money, so it is not a hardship on my family. We love her bee fits for our kids, but it still pisses me off how much money she is losing each year over the course of her career of going to work for the state. I’m glad she’s happy, but pay for teachers is not what it should be. I have no idea how you find the money to pay them with the current state of the LA fiscal budget.

It is what it is, man.

That can apply to any profession, imagine getting into a profession that does not have a real "raise" but only 100 bucks, most new educators do not know this. Many areas will not explain it which is why teaching has a 4 year burnout rate.

She also does not deal with what many area teachers deal with daily, I'm sure she could tell you stories though.

They actually have plenty of ways to do this, however, no one in power will agree to anything because it means a lower cut for those legislative individuals
