I live in a State that teachers are well paid and they don't want to be teachers. Know several who have left teaching or are considering it. They say it's not the kids or the pay since they are paid ok in their State it's the crazy ass parents. Since in my State you're required to have a Masters Degree they have many other options that pay better.
Are you kidding me $25,000 a year for a teacher why teach at all. You can make more working in fast food. Just quit get something better. I would think there are other opportunities in a big city like Minneapolis for educated people.
When I worked as an ESP, I worked 30 hrs/week, made just over $10,500 a year, and did NOT get summers off. They called it "Professional Development" and it's basically mind-numbing meeting after mind-numbing meeting, in an un-air-conditioned building, day after day, all summer long. We didn't get a "break". You'd just get called the night before & they'd tell you if you didn't need to be there the next day, so you never knew if you had a day off or not until it was too late to make plans for anything, and it was never more than 1 day in a row so you couldn't go anywhere. Not that I had the money.
We literally didn't have a summer vacation. We had "PD" (professional development). It was literally all summer, just meetings, & you didn't know if you had a day off until the night before when they'd call & say "we don't need you to go to this meeting". Never more than 1 day in a row, either, so even if you had the money (we didn't), you couldn't get away.
Let's face it: if the teaching profession was populated by majority of males, salaries wouldn't be the big issue. Women have always been expected to work for less. "Women's work" garners less respect because women are seen as having hobbies not professions. After all, they get summer off!!! What more do they want??
Problem is: most people in nursing and teaching are women. Women are not viewed as having important jobs, no matter how truly important those jobs are.
As a rule, women should be paid SIGNIFICANTLY more than men. More so in the medical industry, even more so with nurses, and more that anything else with pediatric nurses!!
nope, my kids went to Minneapolis Public Schools, and they were EXCELLANT. They used to be the jewel in Minnesota's crown. That all started fraying under No Child Left Behind (I witnessed it firsthand), and hasn't stopped.I was educated at a public school, and got a great education, thank you very much. It galls me that my generation (class of 1974) begrudges the following generations the same benefit they received without questioning.
Why would anyone want to be a teacher in Minneapolis or the sorry state of Wisconsin?

The worst part of teaching for my relative is the school district administration and board of education. Stupid parents come in a close second.

$24.000/year- you live in a dump and eat PB&J every meal, or you live someplace half- way decent and don't eat.
The King of Everything says fuck that.

So shall it be!
Yeah. That episode of Fresh Air was the first I heard about it, driving home from the office, a few weeks before the world turned pear-shaped.
Hey, wait a second... you're just trying to be all things to all people. Sounds great! Sign me up.
I recommend it too.

How many of the professional employees are useless administrators, vs. people who actually teach?
