[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher salaries are the highest in the nation, and yet our schools are among the worst in the country[/quote] I had multiple elementary aged children miss more than 80 days of school this year. Tell me how my salary fixes that. [/quote] Exactly. The problem is not the schools or the teachers or the curriculum. It's the environment these kids come from. It's horrible parents. Or even the lack thereof. It's neighborhood crime and the fear and stress that come with it. It's social pressures. It's a lack of role models. It's generational poverty. It's toxic social media. It's so many different things. You could fund a billion dollar school and it wouldn't change a thing. [/quote]
