Going to be interesting start to the 2026-2027 school year…..

Teachers are highly dramatic. They knew the pay while getting the degree and still choose to do it.

More news at 10

All the teachers I know, ones like my wife who aren’t beholden to the unions, were wholeheartedly against the raise due to how it was being funded. It was opening the door to raiding the pension fund. The ones making noise are the dumbasses on the left who don’t understand and only see this small raise as some kind of progress.

The teachers I know both active and retired voted no.

Granting this and other administrations the ability to go into the designated accounts and leave the replacement funding open ended was a bad idea IMO.

It felt like Landry was putting up a token increase to get this done. It felt like some frickery from the start.

fricking teachers…lol.

You can’t deny a raise

Every teacher I've ever known gets a raise every single year. What they call a "raise" is actually just a change to their set raise schedule that they get automatically regardless of performance.

In some parishes you are correct. Parishes like St. Charles and St. James have done this but most only have minor increases like $300-$400 a year

Every parish is different. Teachers in St. Charles parish make 70-80k
Teachers in Vermilion parish make 40-50K

How has this thread gone so long without someone referencing yet that "teachers get their summers off".

What has happened to the OT that I loved?

Glad it was voted down. It was short term thinking.

Depends

So my wife is a teacher close to retirement. She has public school 1st graders. Of the 22 in her class, 20 are black children. Open House or Parenrt/Teacher conferences are poorly attended. Parents have zero interest in their children and use public education as nothing more than a daycare

Several of the children in her class have no business being there. They suffer with learning disabilities or some other form of mental handicap. However, if these kids aren’t allowed access to class with the “normal” students, their parents will simply sue.

Teachers have zero ability to enforce discipline in their classrooms, and even the youngest kids understand that.

About the only thing that can be done to the problem children is prevent them from going on field trips or going out to recess.

And yes, she is told to pass kids who aren’t ready to move to the next grade.

If you have a teacher who genuinely cares about their students, it’s not an easy job. Sure, it’s not physically demanding but having to deal with the stress of not being supported by powers that be and decision makers truly sucks.
