This will be welcomed news among teachers as they find out from their sofas watching the news.

Can we get them to work more than 8 months a year now?

I think it’s more like 10.5 months they work. It’s also not really an 8-5 job. Please you get to deal with a large contingent of shitty kids every single day

Professions like teachers, policemen, firefighters, etc. are the lowest paid people. Those that teach and those that protect. I've always found that concept odd in the grand scheme of a society.

You’re laughing at a state investing in children’s education, and then will probably wonder why LA is ranked 50/50 in education measurements

You know that’s not enough considering teachers work like 14 hours a day

Those professions are all paid fairly decently in States that aren’t completely broke. Unfortunately Louisiana, Mississippi, and many other southern states pay civil-service employees absolute dog shite.

Teachers are paid pretty well in the burbs in Texas. Stating in my wife's district in $52K. I'll take more though.

Higher teacher pay =/= investing in children' education.

It's because they are easy professions to get into. There's a shortage of good public service professionals because they are lumped in with shite and there are no incentives to do better than that.

in most states, the average annual private school tuition is actually less than the average amount spent per child in a U.S. public school.
The average amount that a public elementary or secondary school in the United States spends per student is $11,392 as of June 2017, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The national average for annual private school tuition is approximately $10,413, according to Private School Review.

Wish the idiots in the FL legislature would do something similar. Instead all they do is add more blame and do whatever they can to minimize teachers and make life harder on them.

Agreed, but that in and of itself is why I have never understood the social concept. I have no personal fight in this, but to me people that essentially should a make society better should be paid for that service and recruit the best possible to sustain a better world. Just always something I never quite understood.
