It baffles me as to why the Texas government does not take more action to raise teachers' salaries proportionate to their workload. Many of the 'regular' workforce individuals that I've heard, babbling about how teachers should be fortunate to have at least 2 months off plus holidays, are about as ignorant as a racist prick.
Average pay for first year teachers should be averaging (with a mere 5% standard deviation) of about $45,000 a year. Right now, most first year teacher salaries average $5000 less. Is there a difference? I think so. teachers make the difference in a child's education. Simple as that. teachers provide the encouragement and discipline children need after graduation. I can give many other 'common sense' reasons as to why tare important.
But the sad fact is: If we can't compensate them enough, we stand to lose Teachers to 'regular' jobs (no offense) and leave many students in dire need of attention, something most dead-beat parents don't give! :(>>>>>
