[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Simple answer is teachers are treated like unpro crap and blamed for society's ills while being paid peanuts and getting no support from the admin or union.[/quote] That’s the reason. I can’t think of another profession requiring a specialized degree and license that pays so little [/quote] The pay for teachers in the DMV isn't bad. Teacher salaries in MoCo, for instance, are pretty similar to average RN salaries. Plus they can use the summers to either make more money or avoid child care costs. The problem here isn't pay. It is workload.[/quote] People are willing to do massive workloads if the pay is good. Pay is always the answer. But if pay isn’t going to change, then workload needs to lessen.[/quote] For massive pay, yes. But public sector employees will never get massive pay. 10-20% increases in pay aren't going to change the shortage problem.[/quote]
