Does that math look odd to anyone else?

A nationwide increase of almost 3 million, no the math doesn't look odd to me.

Following is some information you might be interested in knowing (from Center on Educational Policy, January 2012).

1. In 2008 more than 55 million children were in preK-12 schools with 90% enrolled in public schools. The total by 2020 is predicted to be 57.9 million with 91% in public school. Texas is among the top four schools in projected increase in public school enrollment by 2020—Texas = 23%, Alaska = 25%, Arizona = 26%, and Nevada = 28%.

Dont like it? Do something else. Hell you get 3 months paid vacation annually, work 8-3, etc. Boo hoo.

STFU, dude. I don't know what your hard-on for me is and why you like to give me so much shit, but I'm not complaining about anything. I fucking LOVE my job and wouldn't do anything else regardless of the pay. I'm graduating with a Masters in May and won't be doing what I'm getting certified in (even though it would be at least a $15k/year jump) because I love what I'm doing right now.

As I said in the original post, I copied/pasted from our message board. It was something our instructor had posted. Don't like it? GTFO.

Now...where are my potato skins??

who the hell ordered the potato skins?????????????????????

god bless.

So what you're saying is it's perfectly legitimate to ask for more money since some districts need to fill positions? The districts in my area are not filling positions, yet I see their teachers bitching and whining.

No, I just thought you meant that as in your wife was looking for a teaching job...carry on.

I know one thing, some of those people of color need to keep their legs closed and stop fucking like rabbits and wanting a free handout at school for their kids.

no shit, my wife gets like 2 months off for summer. and she goes back 2wks early to start practicing. last year from the begining of November through the first of Feb, she worked 7AM to between 6-9PM EVERY DAY getting ready for their performances. She had two days off for thanksgiving and three for xmas.

good times

That's ignorant. Don't talk about something you know nothing about.

Know nothing about? Sister had been teaching 11 years, both parents taught over 35 years each. So why don't you go back to your $11/hr gubment job and piss off

Dude, we just had a teacher career fair this past weekend...

The subject reads "interesting facts" not, "look at what I have to deal with."

Besides, a lot of people bitch about their job. I worked til almost midnight last night, it sucked. I bitch quite often but it doesn't mean I am not thankful for my job. Everyone complains about their job one time or another.

If this is to complain about your pay, don't bother. I'm sick of the teachers bitching about pay. There are thousands of qualified people willing to replace you - my wife is one of them.

On another note, I have to admit since working where I'm at now (private charter school system) I kinda have a whole new respect for teachers and the level of dedication they have to doing their job. As far as pay, I have no idea what a teacher could make but I don't think it's that much when you break it down to the number of hours they put it in each week. Not to mention with having to deal with state funding and budget cuts which ultimately affects pay raises.
