Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

You know what's disgusting? 85k salary for a teacher. Teachers need more.
A teacher with a doctorate.
Way more than my mom was paid as a teacher. She climbed the ranks for 20 years until retiring relatively recently, and barely broke 70 in all that time.
Oh boy don’t look at Florida’s teacher salaries then. (Or whatever hell holes are the 2 states lower than us)
Cries in Oklahoma. I'm hearing from other locals that, since we're losing so many teachers, some classes are being combined into gymnasiums with 120 kids to 1 teacher. Fuck Governor Stitt and his goon Ryan Walters.
ouch. I'm sorry.
$85k for teacher seems reasonable in my opinion, especially considering how much time they get off during the year.
I thought it was much lower than that.
That said, I would love to see them make more than that. However, teaching is a fulfilling and rewarding job, and a lot of people do it for that reason. That makes it a competitive job market, and that's probably why salaries are low.
You think teachers just vacation when they’re not in class, how cute
First of all, she's a college professor not a "teacher".
Second, teachers at lower levels are leaving the profession. There's not enough teachers for the roles right now. It's not rewarding anymore.
my wife is a senior lecturer at a university and makes 50k, so these aren't accurate numbers at all.
Sounds like she works at a stingy university, and is probably not also the President's wife.
higher educational recruitment is a mess. She gets a daily email digest of jobs, there have been 2 in the last 5 years she could've applied to with better rates of pay, but both were very rural and away from friends and family by thousands of miles
Just another person who simply does not understand how teaching works.
Just another teacher that simply doesn't understand how other jobs work.
You could give me 11 months off work and I'd still want at least three times that much to be a teacher.
It’s a community college, so she might only teach one or two classes
When I was an adjunct in 2018, I earned about $4k/class.
Yeah, I’m assuming she’s pretty highly paid in comparison to her coworkers, but community colleges don’t pay especially well.
Ideally community colleges can get specialized funding so they can pay their workers adequately without raising prices.
President does not pay Teachers.
I know, I can be annoyed without it being in their control.
But you see the point of the article is to get folk thinking about the inequity and blame the President. Thus, while you didn't take the bait, you are circling the hook and paying attention.
Because theres large inequity and it should be addressed
Next complaint: they make that much and get public housing? Wtf? (/s)
relevance to the issue being discussed is the problem. not the other, utterly unrelated to anything involved in this thread, issue folks insist upon attempting to derail this thread with.
Tolookah never suggested that.
incorrect. the assumption is implied from the headline and while no that was not the comment's intent it is playing along none the less.
You're saying Tolookah is "playing along" with an "implied assumption" [that you made] from the headline.
So they still never said that Biden directly pays teachers. You made an assumption about a headline and are forcing it as a strawman argument.
There's need to be condescending and dismissive, it makes it unpleasant to have discussions online.
No, I did not say that. In fact I explicitly state that was not their intent. Please desist in lying.
I don't know what to say... It's clear that you're either trolling at this point or just very toxic. Blocked.
I would like to know where to be to make that kind of money. My partner with a masters, just started making low 60s and we live in the highest paying district in the state. Avg home price is 575,188 and they have 70k in. No wonder we can buy here and stay here
I mean, in general, sure? It's a very expensive area, 100k is middle class even with the public servant housing programs they run
It's community college though - is she teaching a class a week or full time?
I'm more concerned about elementary school teachers being sucked dry for $55-75k with higher degrees ( that's 10k up from what it was a decade ago... I hope I'm way under but I'm probably over)
