Many states also require masters degrees, but then we don't make enough to pay for it. I even commuted all of my years for college, but it's still so much debt. Love my job but ugh 😭

Unless someone has been in education they have no idea what teachers actually do day to day. Education is so undervalued and its scary

Not to mention, we do far more than just teach. We wear so many hats that people are not aware of.

It’s not that easy though to be fair. Tax payers in a district get that burden. Increase? Yes. I’m sure citizens be ok with some higher taxes, but 100k type money? Not sure that’ll fly.

Coming from Corporate America, I can confirm that teachers work A LOT. We need to set boundaries and feel guilty about it because the work never EVER ends.

without teachers, there would be no doctors, scientists, artists, engineers, etc. without teachers, most ppl would be illiterate. teaching is one of the most important professions in a democracy!!!

It’s crazy how every single person in the USA has gotten where they are because of a teacher, but somehow we are still undervalued & underpaid. It’s because it’s a dominated female field. It sucks.

There’s a reason the countries with the best education have the best teachers. The pay is higher, teachers are highly respected, and education is so hard to get into for college!

Don’t forget all of us have done more schooling than a 4 year degree. And many of us also did masters programs and STILL don’t make enough to live. 😫

There have been studies done in other countries. The more a teacher makes, the more respect they get from society and students. It also means they have more education than a bachelors as the minimum

Sadly, people generally think we are just babysitters, and public school is free daycare. I would fully support subbing being like jury duty, so they can experience our field.

I teach your child to read. They literally go from not reading at all, to reading fluently in first grade. One of the most important skills they will ever learn in their life.
