All states do this. It happened to me in Florida, Texas and Nevada. This is common practice. They draw you in with high salary estimates, then when you get there they make up one reason or another why it changed, by then you are on the hamster wheel, stuck in the classroom and unable to do anything about it except complain. The only solution is to leave. Teachers will always be cheated because they don't respect us.
Yes but apparently they will only put it on the news about a certain color if you know what I mean there are other cases of other people of other races with the same type story and they will not put them on the news
It amuses me that people who are not teachers always have something negative to say about teacher's salaries. Teachers spend hours of unpaid time working and doing paperwork and if your a special education teacher you do double. Not only that they spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on supplies and are reimbursed the bare minimum.
People have no idea😳
We are not always reimbursed. It depends upon your school district.
Y’all deserve a starting salary at 100k.
Agreed ❤
@@FaithandNovaright, I don’t understand how it’s not the highest paying job next to roles directly related to revenue. Educators are literally the foundation of ANY SKILL you’ll ever learn. We use the skills to go make money for the rest of our lives.
I've had prospective employers try to low-ball me at the last minute and each time, I thanked the HR Reps for wasting my time, and no thanks, bye. This was a tactic used by the HR DEPT, I found out later. My phone rang in days following and got the agreed upon amount. Always get your money going in. PERIOD.
They love using Black male teachers to help with Middle and High School discipline issues but they don't compensate for the unspoken duty. He could have stayed at the elementary school with less headaches discipline wise🤔
Parents deal with the mental health issues which can help with the conduct. Its a lot dealing with these kids.
@@moniquelampkin7212 Parents can't deal with their own lack of emotional intelligence, so no. Most parents see/engage their children less than teachers do. When parents get home from work, if they get home, miiight spend an hour in dialogue or interactions with them daily. The weekends are the same because most ppl work weekends too. Capitalism has destroyed the family structure along with other social engineering campaigns but there is hardly any parenting going on in the average home(70%). It is what it is🫶🏽🖤1
Hopefully he resigned.
This is why you never get verbal promises. Always get it in writing. Otherwise it doesn't exist.
So what you do is QUIT..... common sense
They telling employees if they go to the news they will be fired.
Houston ISD said they will take 27k and like it or they will be replaced.
I don't blame these teachers for speaking up. Miles' NES plan expectations are for teachers to be with students from 6:30-5:00. Those are very long hours for $63,000 annually. That time is not including lesson planning, conferences, meetings, and the other laundry list of items teachers are required to do. In addition to Everyday Teacher Tasks, SPED Teachers do a TON of paperwork. He needs to come to DFW and find a teaching job. His hours won't be that long, and there are SPED bonuses of $3000-$7000 depending on the district.
Incorrect. He outlined the plan and it includes reduced duties for teaches and leaving at 4:15P. Not only that he emphasized healthy work / home life balance for all educators.
Also, SPED educators will share duties with a TA not a Para.
G why don't you including all the vacation paid sick days time off and pension package you idiot oh you conveniently forget all that don't you
We deserve 100k
Nah lol 😂
Only high school stem teachers do
Come to Cobb County, GA
That man over hisd has to go
Verbal means nothing. If it ain't in writing...
The old bait and switch. Don’t take the job, look else where. If they start from jump lying and cheating you, it will only get worse down the line.
I'll be an HISD ACP intern for Science 4-8th grade and I will get $61,500 per year and $2,000, so it will be about $63,500 total.
I'm starting the program this year. What is the pay while you're working and taking the ACP?
I worked there, and it is a hostile work environment in every facet. Games. Smoke and mirrors. Lots of lies. Revolving doors. I could go on and on
Pay these teachers and quit playing around
$87k is more than cops ... $63k is still MORE than cops 😂😂😂😂
Teachers are the bedrock of America. You can’t have cops without teachers.
Cops get qualified immunity and teachers don't. Both deal with societal problems but teachers don't get the protection that cops do.
You see when that new guy gave that big meeting on television where he explained the money, where it was coming from, how the programs would work, and paying compensation? I listened. You could tell that a lot of it was bait and switch. A lot of people are not getting raises that they think they're getting. Plus you don't really know how long this raise is going to last if you are at one of those 30 schools. See that's the caveat right there. You have to be at a location that stipulates you get that new income. Otherwise you don't. Not to mention they're cutting stipends to pay those people extra money. It's a bunch of tricks you shouldn't be at HISD. Oh and hope those people have a good year performance wise because if they don't guess what's going to happen at the end of next year?
Good luck
Matt is tripping🤣🤣 he got the wind blowing in the background
It's not the same as when my mom took school back I guess it was like 40 so years ago I mean really I think that the district's unfortunately are putting teachers behind computers and all these other thing I mean the family's could get the computers at home where they can have a computer lab where they you know having the library they could you know all kinds of ways that the main teachers put their expertise and and and all of that underneath the equipment just seems wrong to me but I don't think anybody's going to change you know and then I have struggling to pay the teachers when you know the equipment could be gotten elsewhere you don't necessarily need it inside of the classroom😮
Time to leave the district.
That new Super is wreaking havoc and is pathetic.
It Sh!t rolls down in all our school district if you've noticed
@@davidOConnor-z3l it has gotten worse smh
Was this resolved yet??
Salary should be performance based. Texas ranks 40th in the nation in education.
"Performance" can depend more on how well you are liked by your supervisor and by the number and type of students you are assigned to. You can be highly competent and still be "performance" out of your pay and job by the powers that be in your organization. Any employee can be set up to fail or succeed at the whim of HR or a supervisor.
I thought the salary was $100,000
Shame you know people's words just isn't what it used to be then you got so many people telling so many people what to do it's like you know I don't know it's just you don't have that continuity of one person being responsible for their word and say no I told I told you that I have to go buy it and imma keep my word and my dad taught at Jones High School
This is not a good look for HISD. they need to be sued by those teachers and then they'll stop the foolishness.
Sue
all right, low pay is not an excuse any more.
teachers, time to show student achievement. low pay is no more an excuse.
Teachers are not the problem. The problem is the home life and until you start helping the kids at home nothing is going to change. Do better with your children and you'll get better results. Stop spending all that money on tennis shoes and pay for a tutor.
The gravy train rides are over.
When did teachers have that?
@@purelight8291 We have highschool graduates that can't read a tape measure. Do you think they have been doing a good job?
@@steveladner4346if your kid can’t read it’s definitely the parent’s fault, and neglect. What are you doing that you don’t notice your kid is illiterate. Most parents haven’t read a book since 9th grade.
@@orangesarenottheonly yes!!
@@steveladner4346 Why is it that some can read it but others can’t? Do you blame teachers when students don’t understand the value of education?
He's a Teacher⁉️⁉️⁉️
I'll just BET that CERTAIN Teachers were targeted.
