Apr 28, 2016

Well, no raise at all, and I see many cities are going to offer a minimum wage of $15 for flipping burgers.

I did not sign my contract.

Prop 123 will see pennies for teachers

by You got it

May 12, 2016

Yes teachers, you went to school wanting to make a difference in a child's life and you new that the pay would be very low from the get go.

You claim that you are able to live comfortably on a small salary and that after all money was not the reason why you went into education.

Some of your parents may thank you.

Feds need to step in with lack of teachers

by Karla

May 4, 2016

Can the federal government step in and help our ailing schools here in Arizona.

It's an emergency crisis and little is being offered to teachers as they struggle to adapt to common core and large classroom sizes. Somebody rescue us please! We can't live on our paychecks anymore.

Do teachers understand..

by the situation here IS NOT NORMAL?

Feb 11, 2016

I am sincerely wondering if teachers here understand that what happens here isn't normal in the USA.

It is not normal to have to photocopy textbooks for homework or to hear "I would love to teach AP chemistry..but I can't afford the lab supplies>

It is not normal for native speakers who have non native speaker parents to ...See More

It isn't normal to see Spanish teachers wh can't speak Spanish in a border area.

I used to work in a classroom daily; the teacher spent 5 full week learning how to solve 1/3 of 9; every single day half of the class was in tears because they were so confused..that isn't normal.

Border areas ARE unique, but it isn't normal for teachers who speak Spanish to literally never even ask a non English speaker to use or understand English.

It is not legal, but it is very normal throughout the country. Teachers are forced to commit copyright violations all the time to get students what they need to learn.
