Totally.  Teachers make plenty.  Libs just have no idea what they're talking about and care less about fiscal sanity.

LOL, you don't get the best and the brightest for 40k a year.  If you guys are producers and make so much money than you know that.   Apparently though, yall are just full of shit and don't have a clue.

Why should they make more money than just a good living?

Teachers were never in it for the pay, rather the pride and honor of teaching young minds.
Boy, how times have changed.

Let see 40K a year.  Work 9 months have  holidays off, winter break and a Spring Break.  This is not counting all the upload pay for benefits.

Work 9 months?  You obviously have no clue.

Unless they choose to work Summer or are on a year-round schedule, they work 9 months. My dad was a teacher for 25 years.

The GOOD teacher work 10 hr days.  But the average work 8.5 hrs. or less.

That's what happens when the right wing relentlessly slashes funding for schools and science in general, as well as punishing anybody that wants an education by forcing them into years of debt through student loans. This is only going to get worse and worse.

Try hiring teachers who teach, not propagandize and miseducate with nonsense about queer rights, income redistribution, and how pointing your finger at someone is exactly the same as shooting them.

Cut off federal funding after high school. PERIOD. Sink or swim for all colleges, forcing them to retain only the better people to continue that school's various programs---and fire the ideologues, "tenure" be damned.

Teaching colleges have changed. I used to go a whole decade without hearing about teachers caught up in sex with students---and back then it was almost exclusively NOT a female teacher at fault. Now there are regular ROUND-UPS of female predators.

Conservatives say teachers need ethics classes, but being Democrats to a majority, that's the LAST thing the teachers are taught. They're the "educated." They're supposed to know right from wrong.

Right. They work 10 hour days.....for 9 months.

You forget summer school for continuing education. That's the one that saves jobs for teachers colleges, and provides tax write-offs for the participants.

Now you're coming off as an ignorant troll.
Money does not make for a good education, moral decay is the blame for it's failure, and that damaged is squarely on the shoulders of the left.

Agreed. As others have pointed out they must not have spoken or polled/surveyed any Conservative Americans.
