Why do they not talk about management salaries in NYC.
To: Tumbleweed_Connection
Teachers deserve every penny for what they have to put up with and the importance of the jobs they do. If you want to privatize the department of education, I'm with you there. But I don't see any Republican advocating that. So you are just going to have to pay them or lose them to industry.
I expect that most of the comments here will be anti-union. I don't agree with the majority there, either.

The average teacher salary in our high school district is over $80,000.
And they just put a $30 million tax hike on the ballot.
The administrator of our K-12 district is pulling in $300k a year, too.
No poor teachers in the neighborhood.

Our district starts new teachers (fresh out of college) around 40K. Not bad for 185 days a year. However, a good teacher puts in more hours in a day and more days in a year and they are worth every penny. I just wish we could get rid of the bad ones and reward the good ones.

Nonsense, the NYC school system in rift with incompetence, and the level of PC BS is greater than that found in Berkeley. The best thing that could be done with all that money here would be to bring back the old RC parochial systems in NYC. Bloomy was crowing the other day about a rise in test scores: 1) they were talking about state scores that have had significant lowering of standards in the last few years, and 2) the raise in score is merely from bad to the low range of mediocre.
The NYC school system is broken beyond repair, at least beyond the repair of idiots like Klein and the pinkos that run the system here. A great many of the head honchos in the whole education "nomenklatur" send their kids to private schools.

teachers are important....
teachers are not critical....
we could go days and weeks and months and even years without teachers...
life would go on.
nurses...doctors....policemane...fireman....these people are not only important, but ESSENTIAL...
take away them for a day or two and everything would shut down in a hurry....people would die...families devastated...anarchy abounding.........
so where is my $100,000????

"$30 million tax hike..." - that's the way I read this article.
To: mysterio
pay them or lose them to industry Public schools consume 75% of local property tax revenue. For those districts, mainly rural or disadvantaged, that cannot afford competent school systems, the courts are forcing the states to pay.

then again, we wouldn't have nurses, doctors, policemen, or firemen without teachers, would we?

Privatize the schools, then. I am all for the elimination of property taxes, which are little more than rent to the government. And while we are at it, we can privatize NASA. Which party do I vote for to get all of that done?

The average teacher salary in our high school district is over $80,000. Two questions... A)What county do you live in? B)Are they looking for a History teacher?

Good teachers deserve to make a pretty penny. Their work is of tremendous importance.
