No.
The USMC has earned their reputation and get payed less than teachers.
I propose a pay of exactly $0.00 for any woke POS, slime dwelling, low IQ, no morals ‘eddikator’. Eff them, their parents, their grandparents, their cars, their Tic Toc, and their CO2. Let then do something more matched to their abilities (or lack thereof), such as .........er.......Democrat congresscritter.
Here, here!!
Vouchers and home schooling.
Given the low quality of product that todays “educators” turn out, they are vastly overpaid (and schools overstaffed).
$100,000+.
That’s what many teachers are paid these days. I know from personal experience.
Don’t forget about the gold-plated benefits, working only part-time, and pensions you’d kill for.
“Last year, teacher union intransigence on salary issues was front and center in California, where there is a dearth of experienced teachers at high-poverty schools.”
In Japan, teachers must geographically rotate I believe after seven years.
For large metropolitan areas of the US, maybe: first year - middle class school, second year - upper income school, third year - poverty school, fourth year - working class school for teachers with last names starting with A-M.
For large metropolitan areas of the US, maybe: first year - middle class school, second year - working class school, third year - poverty school, fourth year - upper income school for teachers with last names starting with N-Z.
Law school graduates might be required by a state to teach in public schools for four years before being allowed to earn income from the practice of law in the state. What if they refuse to set up shop in the state? Celebrate!
Exposure to truth on a Friday will make an interesting happy hour fodder this evening....
All level of government workers talk about their low pay but not about their benefit packages!!! When I worked for the State of TX, we had 21 holidays vs. about 8 my dad had working in a private business. I’d go home most of those and when I woke up, he’d say, “Another holiday?!!” After breakfast he headed out to work. Plus, after working 5 years for the state I got as much vacation he did working 15 years and had extra sick leave that carried over year over year!!! As I said, truth and math can sicken the victim class.
I am done with teacher worship. I think the are responsible for the current state of our anxious, neurotic, and ignorant youth. Until they resume making sure that every student has the skills needed to succeed in modern western free market society, they can go to hell.
I grew up in upstate New York.
The teacher salaries in the State of New York and other northeastern states were driven by the salaries paid in the suburban counties adjacent to and near New York City.
No mention of the fact that ever more “graduates” are literally illiterate and unable to perform basic math skills. Not to mention a lack of understanding about history, civics, etc.
Most teachers I’ve known have been good people - worthy of respect.
I worship only God and Jesus.
My high school math teacher had a completely different job during the summer.
He stayed active and that has helped him reach his 90s.
Who isn’t earning less than they were? Teachers are grossly overpaid for their part time gig.
“No mention of the fact that ever more “graduates” are literally illiterate and unable to perform basic math skills. Not to mention a lack of understanding about history, civics, etc.”
In my youth, almost every word I read was in a professionally edited document.
“literally illiterate”
Now that’s a smooth alliteration.

Blackboard Jungle is a 1955 American social drama film about an English teacher in an interracial inner-city school, based on the 1954 novel The Blackboard Jungle by Evan Hunter and adapted for the screen and directed by Richard Brooks. It is remembered for its innovative use of rock and roll in its soundtrack, for casting grown adults as high school teens, and for the unique breakout role of a black cast member, film icon Sidney Poitier, as a rebellious yet musically talented student.
In 2016, Blackboard Jungle was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant”.
In the mid-1950s, Richard Dadier is a new teacher at North Manual Trades High School, an inner-city school of diverse ethnic backgrounds. Led by student Gregory Miller, most engage in anti-social behavior. The school principal, Mr. Warneke, denies there are discipline issues, but the school faculty, particularly Mr. Murdock, warn Dadier otherwise.
Hunter’s novel was based on his early job as a teacher at Bronx Vocational High School, now known as Alfred E. Smith Career and Technical Education High School in the South Bronx. Hunter, then known as Salvatore Lombino, took the teaching job in 1950 after graduating from Hunter College. He was quickly disillusioned and quit in frustration after two months.

Using liberal government logic, increasing the federal minimum wage from $7.25 per hour to $20.00 (dumb ass living wage argument) everyone working should get a $12.75 pay raise added to their pay, not just teachers, which is a $26,520.00 per year raise.
According to the NEA teachers get $42,844.00 per year... but teachers should start out at $53,303.00.
So $42,844.00 + $26,520.00 = $69,364.00 so they’d be over the starting pay of $53,303.00 by $16,061.00 so they’d need to pay that back to the government... just saying.
It’s a math thing that most educators are incapable of teaching much less understand like, real science, history and reading. The only thing they seem to teach is fake science and radical opinions.
Yes there are some great teachers but they are far out numbered.
