[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a very good thing.  Schools have been balancing budgets at the expense of teachers for years.  It’s time for teachers to start getting salary increases they’ve been promised for years.[/quote]

Teachers earn a salary competitive to. Feds when education and a 10 month work year are factored in.   Before we pay teachers more, how about they give us a good faith effect, quit griping and at least try to teacher from a classroom. [/quote]

Teachers were doing that for years before the pandemic while having promised raises taken away.  How about we square up those past years first and then talk about this year?[/quote]

And in the prior 12 years my kids have been in FCPS, I would have been strongly in favor of teacher raises.  Okay, to be fair, there were a couple of recession years when the system was dead broke and class sizes skyrocketed. So maybe not them.  But besides that, I’m normally all for it.

This year?   The teacher ADA crap tanked in person start this August and they are still fighting in person return a year in. Just no. Go into the classrooms. Teach the rest of the year. Make a good faith effort to start next year in person— 5 days a week if the governor allows it.  Then, I will support raises.

Until then, it’s awesome we have extra education funds. How about paying teachers who want to work 11 or 12 months to help repeat the damage. In person. They still get a bigger salary, amd we actually help kids.  Which is the point of education, less you think it’s to employ teachers and get them vaccines.

Kids need too much extra held after the last year to pay teachers more unless they work more to help solve the problem they created by sensing in thousands of ADA requests and having an obnoxious union. [/quote]
