Maybe pay teachers enough that they don't have to do this if they don't want to?

And if they do want to, how does it affect their efficacy as a teacher?

[-] sickday@kbin.social 37 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I strongly agree with both points, but it should be noted she was making almost 75k as a teacher according to the article which is definitely on the high end for Ohio teachers

was also a cheerleading coach and yearbook adviser with a salary of $74,720 at the time she resigned.

Edit:
Reading more into the article, she's been teaching for 30 years. 75K for that sort of experience is ridiculous

75K being the high end for educator salaries anywhere in the US is a disgrace.

Tax our corporations, tax our wealthy, pay our teachers, rebuild the middle class.

[-] sickday@kbin.social 24 points 8 months ago

Absolutely. You shouldn't have to dump 30+ years of your life into your job just to get a wage that should be the baseline salary for your job.

They don't want smart teachers the same way they don't want smart cops.

By they I mean the people funding lobbyists and cop unions, they go support the ones that cut the budget or push oppressive policies.

But the average cop is above average in intelligence. Probabilistically, when someone says cops are unintelligent, that person is even less intelligent than a glorified Pinkerton.

You should supply a source because this is the internet and we know how to fact check you.

I am in tech. My spouse was a teacher for 9 years. I made nearly 5 times as much money as her and worked literally half as much.

It's egregious.

My mom was a Special Education teacher in NJ for 40 years and topped out at 89K/year. 12 years out of college I was making $110k/year working in IT.

[-] assembly@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

Right???? I mean the options are to pay teachers according to the importance of the job which I feel like everyone agrees is high. Or, don’t be surprised when teachers are pulling side gigs. Like pick a lane. Don’t shame the side gig if you can’t pay what the primary position is worth. I’ve been making far more than this teacher for the past 20 years and my job ain’t even close to as important as hers. Not even in the same ballpark.

[-] Dkarma@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

75k is livable in Ohio

That being said.

Pay teachers more and administration less.

In my area admin gets paid 4x what teachers do.

[-] hOrni@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

This happens way to often.
