“A school superintendent in Rhode Island is trying to fix an abysmally bad school system. Her plan calls for teachers at a local high school to work 25 minutes longer per day, each lunch with students once in a while, and help with tutoring. The teachers’ union has refused to accept these apparently onerous demands.
The teachers at the high school make $70,000-$78,000, as compared to a median income in the town of $22,000. This exemplifies a nationwide trend in which public sector workers make far more than their private-sector counterparts (with better benefits). “
From a thread about 30 spots upwards of this one.
CA education system is in worse shape. I am usually at school 3 hours a day after im technically off, i eat lunch with the kids at least once a week, and i tutor during my prep period. Teachers are the foundation and molds for the future generation. Unfortunately, the future generation is not looking good
