Because making twelve thousand more per year than the state median income while only working nine months is such mistreatment.
Fire and blacklist every one of them.
Teachers are no longer about their students.
The worst case is at the College Level.
“Colleges” need to be disintermediated.
Cut the 6k increase and redistribute to bus drivers and capital. Surely they’ll do their part.
Wow, they make a pretty good living to corrupt and brainwash our kids. They should be fired. But we all know they will get exactly what they want. It’s for the children after all.
Maybe give it to them on condition the shut down their unions and end ties with NEA. Hence forth, they are simply citizens employed at the pleasure of the school district.
Student “walkouts”. Teacher “walkouts”. Let’s call the whole thing off. Schools have become a waste of taxpayer dollars.
Disband the public school systems and go to a voucher system. The best teachers will get massive raises. Some of the smartest will end up owning schools.
While I’m glad the teachers got a raise Oklahoma has financial problems. It’s seems the teachers are to ignorant to understand it so they are pouting like spoiled children. They are losing the support of the citizenry, but, politically incorrect to say anything.
School vouchers scare all school unions.
I saw footage on one of the news channels. If the announcer hadn’t said the group were teachers and that the venue was in Oklahoma City, I would have guess it was a “homeless” march in Boston.
16% increase? That’s obscene!
If they were teaching reading and writing and arithmetic instead of anarchy and rebellion . . .
Fire them all. Offer to hire them back at 20% less. They won’t find a better job
Home school instead! OK?
Close all public schools and send the students to private schools.
Check my math, but if $6,ooo is 15% of the current rate, they will go from about $38,000 to about $44,000. In Seattle, where I live, that would be a marginal income. I know Oklahoma has a lower cost of living, but that still isn’t a very healthy income.
>> but teachers said it was not enough
Clearly, they deserve more vacation days, seasonal breaks, a longer summer, and 25% salary increase.
the Gov should take back the bill she signed and say fine, you get nothing then. She can asign the monies elsewhere where its appreciated.
Remember Wisconsin?
