I'd like to hear the Repubs bring this up- How much better private schools are versus public. How much are public school teachers paid? How much for private school teachers? What kind of benefits do public school teachers get-dollar amounts, pensions, exc.. vs. private school instructors? What are the dollar amounts in the budget?
The Pubs need to give details and remind people of how much these people already get. And there's no money.
I didn't know they were paid so well. I've always heard about "the poor underpaid-overworked teachers".
Ha-go figure.
It’s really amazing just how much is spent per pupil. 14K per student in CA or DC, I forget which. You could have a private tutor for each kid, limo service to/from school, gourmet lunches for each student, and still have about 10K/student left over for “expenses”.
The public educational system in the USA has become a cesspool of inferiority and political indoctrination since the days of easy money under the G.I. bill along with vastly expanded social programs which were designed to change the historical landscape of this Nation. The system needs to get back on track to making and keeping this an exceptional Nation. Looking at the interests of the young people today,i.e. games-electronic and sports, the teaching of our history is lacking. Perhaps the 4th of July will bring out more than just fire crackers and music.

I don’t know how much my kids’ teachers make, but they do get free tuition for their kids if they attend the school. What I do know is that last year, they were not given a pay raise due to the budget shortfall the school had. Not one teacher left or complained (we have several teachers who have been there for 25+ years, including Sr. Mary, the librarian). That told me everything I needed to know about the dedication they had to their students.
