My son is off tomorrow. I have no problem with teachers trying to protect their living. I think it's horrible that the people we entrust our kids to for half a day and the devolpment of their future aren't among the highest paid of the professions. I would rather have the very best for my kids, even if my taxes are a little higher because of it.

I'm in 100% agreement with that.

I have a college degree and have been at my job for 10 years.
A teacher in my district with a college degree after 3 years makes $61,723 base pay for a 196 day work year.
I have to work more days per year and make a little less.
I have a buddy, his wife is a teacher in Jeffco and after 10 years with a masters degree makes just about 85k.
I don’t think they have it to bad here.

Ps: I do support teachers, my wife was a PE teacher before her spine surgery- I just don’t think it is as bad as they say it is.

Sure, as soon as the rest of us aren't held to pay for some BS social engineering in addition to making sure our own children have educational resources.

Sometimes teachers value things that I don't value, but they are better at teaching my daughter math than I am. Part of my job as a parent is to be engaged with my children and make sure they know how I see the world and my values. That comes with any interaction with any person, so I'm not very bothered by her having teachers with whom I might disagree.

Most teachers push their own agenda.
My stepdaughter, HS English teacher, makes sure to push her feminist bullshit agenda with "women literature" classes.
Enough with their bullshit.
They are paid (too much IMHO) to teach kids HOW to think, not WHAT to think.
If they don't like it, there's hamburgers at McDonald's that need flipping.

...and the more money that we pump into it seems to have an inverse effect on quality.
