Teacher pay should be merit based
When your pay is tied down to whether or not their students and parents care it isn’t good. Public schools in metro areas would have even more difficulty than they already do finding good teachers. You can be wonderful but if kids don’t care, they aren’t going to do well.

My SIL is a teacher in the EBR public school system and the number of unqualified or bad teachers is more than it's ever been.
Because qualified people don’t want to do it anymore. Their pay sucks compared to putting up with all the shite stain kids and parents they have to deal with. The schools around Shreveport are badly struggling keeping qualified teachers. A huge number of them have left the profession altogether

Teachers work model than firefighters. I have no idea what firefighters do about 95% of the time.

You must have learned common core math. Also, stop thinking like an extreme liberal.
School has my child 7.25 hours a day
- there are 24 hours in a day
- …. “How many hours in the day are the parents responsible for their child?”
Good luck if you apply common core education.

Who’s paying for this raise if it passes. Vast majority are People struggling to make their own ends meet and whom have gotten no raise themselves.

Teachers don’t retire with full pay
In Louisiana they do if they work a normal full career under TRL.
They get 2.5% of their highest final 3 years X years worked
So, if they make $60k and worked from the time they graduated college (22) to 62, so 40 years:
$60k x 40 x 2.5% = $60k pension for life

The only way to determine eligibility for an increase is testing of the students at the end of each year. If they do well in the history portion of the testing, the history teacher did a good job, etc.
This is a terrible idea, because this incentivizes teaching specifically for the test. This is already a problem because schools are graded based on standardized tests. Teachers already spend time teaching specifically to prepare for these tests.

As long as unions are getting blanket increases, there’s no individual incentive.
Agreed.
And this is true of all unions across all industries
