how much, part 2

Published Jun. 18, 2008

So, basically, the whole point of my ealier blog was this:

 

I am very thankful I have a job with great benefits, decent pay, that gives me the chance to make a difference in a childs future.  You won't hear many people just up and whine about how much they DON'T get paid, but when you start saying "(blank) doesn't deserve all that money they make because they only do (blank)"

MANY Golo'ers expressed that "Teachers don't deserve their pay (or a raise) because they only sit in a class with kids and turn out bigger idiots.  Plus they get alllll summer off and only work 7:30-4."

 

I can argue all day about this.  Its about RESEPECT and APPRECIATION for what people do for a LIVING.  Some people were real jerks, and I am sure any one of you can tell me what you do, how much you get paid, and I can come up with why thats a waste of money!

Spunky, so true!

Whatelse, the smart crooks usually obtain their smarts thanks to the state paying their education in prison

I sort of agree with you Bones. However, it usually is easier to catch dumb crooks than it is to catch the smart ones.

I think that the "top heavy bureaucracy" should take a pay CUT to INCREASE the teacher's pay.

i would rather pay a teacher well than a probation officers salary...

try being a child care provider, pay is pitiful. Teachers work hard for their money, I agree, and I wouldn't want to work in the school system the way it is right now for any amount of money. However, I think across the board pay raises are not right for any job. I know there are some excellent teachers out there. My son had one this year (5th grade). I wish I could box her up and carry her with him to middle school. I keep a little girl for a 4th grade teacher, this lady gives 200%. Our PTA president is a kindergarten teacher, you couldn't ask for a teacher to do more. But there are also teachers out there that do the absolute bare minimum they have to do to draw a paycheck. These give the others a bad name. There needs to be a better system with better pay for the better teachers

I don't have the patience to be a teacher. I would lose my job on day 1, especially when one talked back to me.

I commend the teachers, as long as they do the job that they get paid for. I don't know what a reasonable salary would be, I have seen some of the scales, but I am sure it is well worth what they are being paid now, and then some for the teachers who produce good results.

Ken D. - I disagree with your assessment. The overall state budget for education; not counting debt being paid off is 8 Billion dollars (college and k5-k12). Add to that the hundreds of millions that gets poured in at the county levels. Add to that the federal dollars that come in. We are not getting what we are paying for by any stretch. We have a systemic failure. It is not one that the teachers can fix. Thy are caught between a floundering top-heavy bureaucracy, too many children that could care less about school, too many absentee/uncaring parents. Should teachers get more pay? Yes some of them should. Teachers face an increasingly dangerous work place; and the students face the same dangers. The entire system needs to overhauled. Much like we need alternative forms of energy, we are sorely in need of alternative choices of education. Sadly I fear, we will just continue to pour more and more money into a broken K5-K12 system, and we will not get better results.

"MANY Golo'ers expressed that "Teachers don't deserve their pay (or a raise) because..."

And these people are the reason why North Carolina education has traditionally performed so poorly despite its reputation as a progressive state. NC taxpayers have always been hostile to education, except at the university level.

We get what we pay for, and we get what we deserve. If people only entered a profession because it brought them wealth or gave them respect, we wouldn't have as many teachers in NC as we do. We're fortunate that so many become teachers for truly altruistic reasons.
