Did SC teachers get a pay freeze for this year?

by Melissa/North Caolina

Jan 10, 2010

Hi. We had a pay freeze this year in North Carolina, and, of course, we all hate it. Did you get a pay freeze this year? Or were you lucky to get a raise?

Cindy Sorry. But in Democratic or swing states with dems or moderate repub. in charge they tend to be more middle or lower class friendly with their laws.

We have unions and we did not have to take any freezes. We have better teacher pay, retirement and health benefits.

We have unions and we did not have to take any freezes. We have better teacher pay, retirement and health benefits. I also noticed we offer more programs to assist middle or lower income families. But you do have that great weather! I am jealous of that. Somedays it is so cold I just stay at school and keep working. We also do not have a big turn over because we have good working conditions so their are not as many openings.

BUT Why do teachers have no say? Teachers sometimes offer creative solutions. Even with unions, bad teachers should be let go but I am glad everything is spelled out in my contract. So everyone knows what is expected of them. And I am confused why you do not have local boards or super. that could make local decisions? Shouldn't locals be making the decisions? How does it work? Every area has different needs and issues

Cindy As a teacher, I must correct my "their" to "there" are not many openings. Sorry about my hasty typing. I did not notice it at first. Thanks all -Cindy

Will Rogers Cindy,

When one types fast...mistakes happen. :-) But I disagree, I believe the SOuth to be more progressive in some things, better at others, and right along with the rest of the nation in the rest. And if you actually look at all the states, not just what others tell you, you will see you are wrong my dear one. I had the honor of doing a paper (140 pages worth....what a nightmare at grad school!) Here were some of the findings:

--Republicans in state and federal government personal wealth was uniformly BELOW those of democrat's personal wealth. --States with the highest welfare rates were northern states, with mostly white women not working as highest percentage of people on the dole. --The so called "progressive" states had massively higher property rates and millage rates. --In EVERY state, the money for schools is directed to the politically active suburbs, not cities or rural areas....the school money follows the political donations!

Those were just a few. Check the facts yourself, don't just take someone's word on it please.

You know why teachers get dumped on? Tor 3 reasons:

1. Not politically knowledgeable 2. Do not act or puroprt themselves as educated managers -which we are. 3. Do not get active in local politics.
