[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing that resonated was the fact that teachers are highly criticized with their planning but it is taken away many times unpaid by the demand for subs.  So we naturally fill the hole but then admin ticks us all the time on our plans when the time was given up free for the "do it for the kids" bs.  Well who is doing right by the teachers.

I think back about how I tried so hard to keep my job, jumped through all the hoops, to be a teacher.  I heard the horror stories and I chose to be a teacher anyway. I don't know what I was thinking.[/quote]

So, you’re saying we should raise the ridiculously low compensation for subs rather than increasing the pay of teachers making six figures?[/quote]

You’re so jealous of teacher salaries… get a life. We get it. You hate teachers. They’ll continue to make more than you. Get a better job if you’re so upset. Grow up. [/quote]

Did you read the earlier post describing the added workload on teachers because of a lack of subs?  You don't think the $21/hour pay with no benefits plays a role in that?[/quote]

I’m well aware of how poorly subs are paid. That has absolutely nothing to do with the point I made. Teachers should be paid well; so should subs. [/quote]

And relative to other public sector jobs in the social sciences, communications, and similar fields, public school teachers are well-compensated.  There absolutely are issues that need to be addressed and improved for teachers, but pay for veteran teachers isn’t one of them.[/quote]

Are people leaving public sector jobs in the social sciences, communications, and similar fields in droves? Is there are shortage of people who are willing to work in public sector jobs in the social sciences, communications, and similar fields, at current pay rates, with current working conditions? [/quote]

Yes, the county is struggling to get workers, especially social workers and the pay is less, not more.  [/quote]

In other words, social workers and teachers both aren't paid enough for people to want to do those jobs for that pay under those conditions...[/quote]

It’s not just about the money.  [/quote]
