The teachers here hate every Republican governor because they do not give them huge raises. The Demoncrats don’t either, but they are willing to lie and say that they will....right after the next election.
If they wanted to make a ton of money, they chose the wrong job.
My wife is different from that. She teaches her kids real stuff like reading and writing and real arithmetic. She can do that because she is a Spec Ed primary teacher and is thus ignored by the school board and the principal. Some of her kids including some of the dumb ones, after a year are much more accomplished than the mainstream kids.
Here in CA thats less true every year.
It used to be teachers got great retirement benefits because they were expected to earn less during the course of their careers than those in the private sector.
Thanks to collective bargaining they now have great retirement benefits PLUS pretty damn good salaries, in many cases better than their equivalents in the private sectors.
