[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh come on like Target and Walmart employees are getting paid millions of dollars to go to their jobs. All teachers do is complain about low pay but it's a profession they chose.[/quote]
Target and Walmart employees have gotten raises-https://corporate.target.com/press/releases/2020/06/target-increases-starting-wage-to-15-thanks-frontl#:~:text=Target%20set%20its%202020%20goal,in%20June%202019%20to%20%2413. -whereas teachers have taken paycuts. These employees also don't purchase materials for their jobs to the tune of hundreds of dollars a year or take any work home. They have limited interactions with customers, who are all required to wear masks (or they are kicked out of the store). We are being asked to go back to work in small, unventilated classrooms for seven hours a day without a break, with a group of children who we cannot force to wear a mask. That's not the same thing. They are not responsible for blowing noses, helping customers in the bathroom, tying shoes, wiping tears, or touching customers in any capacity.

Frankly, they also didn't take on student loans or work through six years of school to work there. Sorry, not the same job, not the same risks. If you want us to go to work, then give us hazard pay. Pay me for the prep periods and lunches you want to take away. Otherwise, I don't think so. I am not a servant. [/quote]
