My local paper has a woman writing in how unfair it is that her teacher husband got a master’s degree and he’s NOT going to get a raise. Then she complained that the family of 3 will have to pay....$600 per month for health insurance. How awful when a teacher has to face the REALITY of what’s been going on. They should be thankful that they HAVE a job to go to. Talk to someone who has been out of work for a year or more.
All teachers in California should be forced to take a mandatory 10% pay cut immediately, just for starters. If they don’t like it then go find a job in the private sector. Their greed has bankrupted the state. How much of this crap do they think we will put up with.
We pay about than of that per month for a family of 6...of course, my husband doesn’t have a union sticking up for him, so that might explain the better benefits ;)
