[quote=Anonymous]I think parents want to support teachers but aren’t sure what to do at a macro level. Like day-to-day, of course, raise children with manners, don’t harass teachers about grades, etc. But honestly it feels like it’s *always* been teachers saying “We don’t get paid enough! We don’t get enough support!” So what are parents to do, specifically, beyond supporting teacher raises and referendums for improved school resources? If I don’t like a job or I’m not getting paid enough, I leave that job. My husband is in a union and he actively works with his union to improve pay and working conditions. But it feels like teachers are constantly being martyrs, saying nothing is enough and expecting others to listen endlessly or do the work of advocating for them. If you don’t like your job or want to get paid more, leave your job. Yes, kids will definitely suffer from the lack of educators but the market will eventually adjust to value teachers more both financially and otherwise. Sadly, the endless martyrdom of teachers has become white noise. [/quote]
