They get put on a terrorist list for threatening teachers, administrators and school boards. They get put on terrorist lists for throwing things at speakers and superintendents at school boards. Doesn’t that seem odd they would do that? Yes, you may have 8 grandchildren, but you know nothing of what goes on in schools.
Because I read what you post about schools and teachers. And once people’s kids are out of school, they don’t really go in one anymore. And you aren’t married to a teacher.
IDK any teachers that are paid a premium in the inner cities. but u do not live in the inner cities so how would you know.Sir, u r wrong very wrong, They do not pay teachers enough for the responsibilities they have.
I have a friend who teaches in Indianapolis Public Schools - IPS - because he can make more there than he can in the suburban schools.
Sometimes it's just fun to show their stupidity.Just stop of you don't want it on your door step every day .
No, teachers generally receive less pay in rural areas.

How many kids do you have in school? Are you married to a teacher? When was the last time you were in a classroom?
My best friend is a history teacher, and his wife a grade school principal in Clarksville, Tennessee. They do very well. They are also Republicans so you would hate them.
It's not a trope dumbass. The only ones who don't know what they are in for aren't paying attention.
What?!?!?! You aren’t aware of the fantastic salaries teachers are making? JFC, the only reason people go into teaching is for the money. Every rich neighborhood I’ve ever seen is loaded with pretty much just doctors and teachers.
There are a ton of teachers living in my community and I'm in a middle to upper middle class area.
54k is not a great salary, especially considering the hours outside of work. Also, I’m genuinely curious, is that average only including primary and secondary ed teachers? I’m wondering what the differences are between elementary and high school pay.

i don't think the salaries on ziprecruiter and indeed and all those online things are accurate. as for your ford comment i had friends who went to chrysler straight from high school. they'd work shifts and holidays etc and made a fortune. they got whacked when chyrsler left and have struggled since but the car manufacturers provided a hell of a good life for people. plus no lost earnings of college years. no college years expenses etc
Those are not great salaries. LOOK at TEACHERS IN Gary where they are closing public schools. 2 of the schools I went to are closed and condemned.

Why are they closed and condemned?
Well, you might think that, but you’d be very wrong, Last time I was in a classroom was yesterday. Helping my friend set up for her kids coming back next week. She teaches in IPS. I’ll be back in Pike to volunteer, like I do every year. I have friends who are teachers, principals, and two superintendents in neighboring districts. I’ve given a few seminars and still tutor some. So you’d be pretty wrong about that.
What are they doing if they aren’t working 8-3? Yes, they get 30 minutes for lunch but many have to work through that lunch. While the children may be at school only 8-3: I don’t know any schools where the teacher didn’t have to be there before and after schools. There are multiple meetings , IEP cases, performances, family nights, etc where teachers are expected to attend. How do you know that teachers don’t work as much as they ”complain” about? Maybe your two examples didn’t work much at home. My school was filled with cars on the weekend. I don’t know how you can teach, grade, record, answer phone calls and e-mails, fit in your meetings, and plan, without spending at the very least 10 hours a week. How do you measure those results? I know multiple college graduates who start out over $100;000. In Indiana a teacher would never reach that. Illinois does have a very generous benefits program, which I couldn’t believe when I heard about it. Most states are not close to that package.
That’s supposed to be a good salary? Lol. That’s pitiful. Wonder why there aren’t any men in education? Trying to support a family on $54,000 is laughable.
Unless you are in a private school, the district pays teachers at different levels the same, elementary, middle, or high school.
How is 54K pitiful?
Not all degrees are worth the same, Zeke. People getting over $100,000 out of college must be some pretty advanced, smart, accomplished people. Or they have skills that only a tiny fraction of people do. They are also going to work way more than a teacher. Want to add an extra hour on a day for before and after school? OK. That brings it up to 1440 hrs a year., still nearly 500 hours fewer than a normal 9 to 5er, even with generous vacation time. These are facts and that is how labor markets work.
A first year, 21-22 year old making $54,000 is pitiful? That's more than about half the workers in Indiana make, while working much, much less. With a summer job at $20/hr., 40 hours a week (gasp! The humanity!) that $54,000 could be over $60K. Many small-firm, first-year lawyers don't make that much, while working far, far more and being far, far more in debt after going to school for longer.
