Public school teachers are underpaid and under appreciated

20k is not the minimum

Rusty hook with no worm on it.

$24 an hour is not over paid. I’m sorry. But most people can be a teacher. There is a difference between a teacher and a good teacher. But pretty much any one can be/become a teacher. Wages are on skill. And there’s not that much skill to just being a teacher.

Imagine going to college for 4+ years, getting a job paying apparently $20k/yr, and then having the audacity to blame your decision making skills on everyone else.

That sums it up nicely.

20k-$40k a year. It’s turned into a glorified underpaid daycare

$40k a year starting, to work 9 months. The equivalent of starting at 53k for most full time salaries positions.


No one is arguing that dealing with shite head kids and parents isn’t hard or that it doesn’t suck. But
A job being tough or hard isn’t enough to warrant higher wages. Supply and demand. Is it a skill/profession that few possess the intellectual or physical means to be able to to learn how to do it? It’s not.

Being a garbage man would probably be exhausting and tiring work. Doesn’t mean they should get paid more. Nothing wrong with either of those professions, but I’d say the pay is just right.

It’s actually not bait, you bored useless frick.

Go look at the stats, public school teachers do more and deal with more than the $35k average Joe working a bank teller job.

You won’t find many well educated people who make very comfortable wages arguing that teachers are overpaid and whiny.
