“Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams is proposing a big teacher pay raise in her run for governor, saying Republican Gov. Brian Kemp’s much-touted $5,000 across-the-board increase is not enough to recruit new teachers and retain current teachers.”

OK, if you’re going to fire all the current teachers. Paying the current teachers more won’t improve their teaching.

She already us guaranteed the communist vote, so there is no need for this promise...

Remember when they offered teachers better pay if the kids did better on standardized tests? So the teachers gave the kids the answers. Pretty sure that was Georgia.

My sister and brother-in-law were Elementary ‘music’ teachers in the Pittsburgh Public School System in the early 2000s, they are now both retired with a choice benefit package. While working they were salaried at $90K each for 9 months of work... you do the math, that’s no joke.

The Republicans should propose school choice for all students. Advertise it heavily to black mothers. They pushed DeSantis over the line. Also campaign to Christians and homeschoolers.

Yep! The only way Democrats can win is by buying the votes. “We will give you raises, and we will give you free stuff just vote for us!” Yep.

Yeah a teacher's raise. It is because teachers have been doing such a stellar job in grooming and indoctrinating our children. Let's just forget that American children fall further behind in their educations more each and every year when compared to the rest of the world. Let's just forget that many teachers are functionally illiterate, despite many having MEd degrees with minors in bulletin board design. Let's just forget an Ed degree is one of the least rigorous degrees in college and low IQ, poor academic performers flock into those programs to have teachers from the same failed system indoctrinated them because they are not mentally capable of critical thinking or forming a cogent adult thought.

Until so-called educators actually excel at their jobs, the don't deserve a raise. In fact, with all the crap going on in school, every teacher needs a good 20% pay cut. You all should get the pay cut, good bad, or indifferent because you belong to teachers union and expect the get the identical perks. It works in the opposite direction too.

I am almost certain that some FR teacher will respond to this post. My retort is when did you go to every school board meeting in your school district and speak out against all the PC, woke, grooming, multi-cultural, bLM, faggot pride, leftist indoctrination that occurs at your school? See, you are part of the problem.

I am in fully agreement with your retort to any FR teacher who might respond.

For years we had a dozen or so FR postal workers who would argue against anyone who posted a negative comment about the USPS.

A transparent ploy to appeal to the large teacher union voting bloc—buy their votes. This is how dimmocommies with nothing but criminality to offer roll. And in the case of Ghettopotamus, ambulate in general.

As much as I detest Kemp I hate this hippo bit*h more. I will vomit if Kemp wins. I will wretch if the commie hippo wins. Please Georgia voters, swallow and hold your nose until it bleeds but get out and vote for Kemp so we don’t have to wake up to news that Henritta Hippo is Governor of Georgia.

They have the IQ that matches. I find it pathetic that any man makes a career out of working for government and not building anything real in the private sector.

Democrats love the carrot on a stick trick it’s worked years for them.

Paying a teacher more doesn’t make the teacher better

If it does, they were slacking before and need to be fired.
