Pay politicians teacher wages and teacher wages of politicians.
You can train foreign teachers to do their jobs for 50k a year and do a better job!!
You’re the favorite person today! ❤ A WY teacher
teachers don't deserve that... mine wouldn't be worth what they got paid as it it
Since Teachers are third on the list of millionaires in the US, I doubt more money is the answer.
Get on that. You have a solution, let’s try it!
Being assaulted or disrespected only to find out the kid faced zero consequences. Not worth it.
Problem is pay and how the children act.
If you’ve never been inside a inner city school of many of our major cities, an increase in pay would not suffice in attracting teachers.
Correct. I would almost find this pay acceptable if I didn't have to spend so much time dealing with problematic behaviors and endemic parental mediocrity.
Not just inner city schools have students you are speaking of. Remember, when families are unhappy bc they can’t get their way, they turn to school of choice and become some other school’s problem.
Student behaviors and impossible performance goals are driving many teachers away.
Exactly! I quit teaching after 16 years. The stress, expectations, growing amount of paperwork for the district/state that take away time needed for planning, having no time to have a life, behaviors in the classroom, lack of accountability for student behaviors, state testing (the pressure is insane and gives no valuable information that helps with your teaching), micromanaging from admin, etc
Yup. Dumpster fire…
I am a current 4th Grade teacher
And literally talked to my district to renegotiate my salary and they denied me,there losing teacher’s everyweek because they fail to invest in teachers commited in the field
You got the committed part right.
Passing a civics test should be mandatory for home schooled children to demonstrate that parents actually taught them something.
Why, it's not like they are gonna learn it in school. They might learn how to cross dress, or get a sex change. But civics???? I doubt they can even spell it.
Homeschooled children have higher rates of graduation and higher test scores than children from public schools.
Why are you worried about homeschooled children and no public school children like those of many of our major cities…
Baltimore public schools are the third highest funded school system in the nation, yet 23 out of 36 public schools could not produce, and I’m not exaggerating, one eighth grader that could read, write or do math at grade level.
I went to public schools and never learned anything about civics.
My Civics class in high school taught me so much. It should be required.
Why? Kids in public school can't even pass a pee test.
Teachers should be getting paid close to 6 figures a year.
No
i would say no, maybe 50% and also make some performance KPI for better teachers, with an external standardized test. Many jobs have KPIs and i've had some bad teachers in the past. Yes students are hard to deal with but, so are customers, clients, etc. And stop teaching useless indoctrination .
Maybe you don't know how the world works currently,but my babysitter will clear 40k this year alone,and she doesn't teach anything to the kids she's watching.Teachers and cops should have degree's and make 100k a year to start@@OMCreateable
They should be getting 6 figures plus
I disagree. There's far too many lazy, inept, and downright bullying teachers out there that don't deserve this. It's bad enough that once they're granted tenure they basically have to be caught in a sex scandal or stealing from school funds to get axed.
And parents disciplining their children when they're wrong would help too
There's no teacher shortage, there's a shortage of morally upright education officials and school administrators.
Bingo!
I got paid 100k just before retiring after 32 years of high school teaching. Don't forget that we contribute 10k a year to our pension.
And in 16 states teachers get no social security. And their spousal social security benefits are reduced up to 2/3. I started teaching with a masters making 27k gross in 2010. Now with 120 additional credits I earn about 88000 gross. Single income teacher household. My take home is $1400 every two weeks. I pay for health insurance. 11% pension. 29.7% into a 403b. And then also fund an FSA.
The fact that they’re trying to figure out just how much is JUST enough for teacher to come back and then have them work 11 months?! Absolutely not.
This man has never been in a classroom
100%. Repeating the corporate line about education.
Increase teacher salaries based on performance. There ought to be a way to remove/reassign teachers who don't cut the mustard.
Time for the politicians to start paying the piper.
The wage, the constant refresher courses, taking their work home like grading, disrespectful students and parents, unsafe environments, active shooter drills, too many requirements to become a teacher. If a student attacks you you can't fight back, I can't imagine why there would be a shortage.
I taught in a very affluent area and those kids were the worst. Can’t pay me enough to deal with entitled, spoiled brats.
I have found that the extremes in wealth often make for the worst teaching experiences. A lack of meaningful consequences ruins school cultures entirely.
Before retirement, I was seriously considering hiring a secretary because the workload was unachievable. That needs to also be addressed
There is no shortage of people with teaching credentials, but there is a shortage of financial compensation and supportive administrations. Those need to be addressed if there is to be any substantial increases in teaching staff levels.
Thank you, I started to think I was crazy... here I am, hire me... but no they hire people still in college. Meanwhile I am Long term subbing for the same pay with my credential and masters degree.... so when I hear this whole "teacher shortage" propaganda... it grinds my gears.... and yeah seeing it now with the layoffs going on... what a joke....
Teachers deserve more pay.
And security issues
Public school teachers are all six figure earners here. That's the way it should be everywhere.
Top teachers make $100k a year in Canada
That's about the same here, but col is better in canada
Listening to teachers, doubt you can pay them enough to handle the kids in some areas.
As a teacher, I didn’t care about the money. I knew going in I wouldn’t be paid a lot. I didn’t know however, the constant disrespect, apathy, and feeling like I was being set up to fail was insurmountable.
People don’t want to teach bad kids 😭
I doubt the money would work it would probably increase it at first until they get tired of it
Yep
I sub in a small country school. The kids are horrible. I can understand why we are losing the good teachers.
@@annaglenn5438 I hope you are figuring out ways to deal with it better.
I think civics should be brought back into school curriculum. It absoultely should be! We can blame modern politics for removing it to begin with.
As a public educator trust me. The main issues stem from moral decay in society (which has impacted parenting) class sizes and lack of trade/alternative schools!
My junior high teachers were lazy. They were union and couldn't be fired. I taught myself by reading the textbooks and taking the tests in the back.
Maybe work on the book-burning parents too. The Republican party has undermined American greatness for six decades now.
Do you have I D I O T stamped on your forehead?
He got the idea from your Mom's tattoo.
@@alk3078 you do
But you do 🤣 child it's past your bedtime @@DimplesGenX
@@karelglasner2673 ok bot that joined 1 year ago lmao
Saying teachers need to work throughput the summer in order to get paid a good salary totally devalues what we already do. I was shocked when I heard that! Also, kids should have that ‘summer childhood’ most of us had. We went to the pool, rode bikes, camped out, went on trips, etc Why would you take that away from them?
The US spends more money per student than any other country and we are mediocre at best compared to other countries. If you can, homeschool or send your kids to private school. Keep them out of government schools.
You mean public schools for those who aren't rich - maga trying to dumb them down and twist the truth.
There are too many helicopter parents
@@jeffmisch1485 Should not be up to the government to make that decision. Besides, how many teachers are suffering from prop wash.
@@jeffmisch1485 To many absent parents.
Most of that goes to sports and sped.
The fact that most teachers work 185 days a year, their median pay is better than an engineer per working day (Boise, ID $291.63 vs. $269.68). Would be nice having all summer off and every school holiday.
Well it's a harder job and requires more skill to do well than a engineer bud
There isn’t a short answer. But 100,000 dollars will definitely help.
Pay me six figures and I will absolutely work 11 months a year. What else can I do to make more? I will do it.
No then you are just back to square 1
Yes to the civics test. It's each state's responsibility to fund education for that state. There are not unions in my state....but there are police unions...but that's it.
Duh, this is obvious. Salary will obviously help. The entire nation needs more money.
Raising salaries has always been a problem. It's the lack of assault weapons ban. I retired early because arming teachers is NOT the solution.
An assault weapons ban effects your teacher salary...huh? That's a new one.
ARMING YOU is not the answer. Arming qualified teachers at the range certainly would make a big difference. You need to change that word 'brave' from your name.
The public school model is not fit for purpose. Let parents decide who and where
is the sky blue ? maybe more pizza parties would solve the shortage
This guy has no clue. "Teachers should work 11 months out of the year like everyone else." Does he not realize the amount of planning and organizing teaching takes? If you increase the time we teach and our salaries we really haven't gotten a raise now have we? Not unless you give us an extra planning period per day. And then he goes on to say it is hard to get rid of "underperforming teachers." No it's not. Not if admins are doing their job. You can't fire your way to a better teaching force. The reason this guy is talking like this is that teaching is a largely female profession that takes an enormous amount of time to plan for. This guy is obviously not a teacher.
No higher pay will not totally solve the problem, it only helps teachers so they do not have to work 2 jobs and it is very needed but the need is to stop student bullying and negative behavior and cell phones will solve the problem.
It will help.
These talking points are from someone who has never worked with kids.
The importance of what is being taught should equal the value of the instructor. If its a subject being taught as "busy work" with zero to no value in society or the future workforce, then they should be paid in correspondence to that. Mix in all these other personal agendas being added in lessons like Critical Race Theory, Social Justice, Gender Identity, Pronoun Training and the value of such teachers should be the minimum wage their state. The bottom line is that the world needs scientists, engineers, innovators, entrepreneurs and individuals of actual value, not people stuck on useless merits of valueless degrees. The ones teaching the individuals that will lead the future are the ones deserving of the six figure salaries.
Nailed it!
How about dropping down the teacher requirements because some of them are ridiculous.
Yes. Wow that was easy! Pay our teachers!
No!! They will still complain about students acting unruly and having too many students while trying to do the less work possible
@SlimMichaelSpaghetti you clearly are not a teacher... im just an spec ed. art teacher... i do not have it nearly as hard as the other teachers because I'm supposed to only have 12 students in my class but even now that's rising I have 15/18 students per class ....let me tell you .... I drove 3 1/2 hours... these last 2 saturdaays... to drop off work for students to even have a chance to get scholorships. because they couldn't afford to ship it/frame it/ yada yada .... did I get paid for it? Do I spend time framing hanging matting, every SINGLE one of my students work? Yes.. do I get paid for it? Do I buy art supplies when we are running low because it takes actual weeks to get it ordered through the system? Yes. Do I get paid for that?? No.. oh! No... I don't even get paid THAT much because I'm a freaking substitute for a dear friend of mine that was dying of cancer 3 years on and still can't come back to work.. was I overworked during covid? Hmmm.. typical school year is 5 schools.. 2 years ago I had 10 schools that I drove two every week to serve those kids.. because there was NO ONE that would serve them... then 7 last year.. and this year it's back to five and I can breathe. I'd wake up in the morning and throw up with the amount of stress I had during covid.... because also during that time I had a 4 and 2 year old nephews I had to go pick up from daycare an 2 hrs from where I worked to then feed them wash them .. and God forbid let me have the energy to play with them and love them for 30 seconds because their mother was abandoning them and my brother was working out of state but was trying his damnest to keep the lights on. To rush them to bed before I utterly collapsed and had to repeat. And to get paid less than a retail worker???? Yeah... I wonder why no one wants that job.
@@amandanorris8 I went thru 11 different schools having countless number of teachers across different States. They all ignore the slow learners.
@SlimMichaelSpaghetti yeah and I went through 6 different schools in three of the poorest parishes in louisiana.. they just ignored kids period.. if the teachers were even competent in teaching to begin with. My 10th grade history teacher was teaching us that the nazis were ww1 lol... my 12th grade English teacher didn't even know the albatross was a real animal... seriously..thought it was mystical like a unicorn or something...
School is a waste of time for both the slow learners and the gifted learners(sad to say ) .. they try to combat that with special education.... which is now ballooning in my district with too many students and not enough teachers. I would also support different kinds of learning besides being a state mandated test.
@SlimMichaelSpaghetti I don't believe in slow learners.. you were just interested in other things. I was talking to a teacher just today about two students that probably won't be able to test into our special education program because their skill level is not at the "academic standard" for drawing... but the teacher was talking that he feels guilty in not being able to work with the kids closer because his class is full of goons that literally have no interest in art, but are required to be there for the sake if having a credit in art. He has to spend his time babysitting and patrolling because a student stuck gum in someone else's hair.. fights breaking out
.. and all kinds of nonsense that disrupts what would be a completely teachable class
otherwise. It's not fair to those two.students who really want to be in a smaller class setting... it.nreaks my heart. And I would LOVE to have them in my class
If you think teachers aren’t getting paid enough? Try working as A Substitute Teacher sometime! Substitutes get paid even 👎🏿👎🏿 LESS $$$ than a certified teacher…with NO BENEFITS!
…No health insurance, no dental, or sick days! 👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿
Employ soldiers especially marines as teachers and let see how those unruly and violent kids end up.
Marines will be in prison for yelling at kids claiming mental abuse. Education isn't what it used to be. There is no accountability when a child acts up.
Higher salaries are not the only issue. Yes, Not the answer but an answer.
I am an American born citizen. I left America to live in Asia (I am not asian or white), and I immediately found a job in Asia, much faster than compared to America (NYC). My quality of life is much better now. The cops don't even bother me, which proves stop and frisk is a bad policy and not needed. What America did to me is beyond unforgivable and pathetic. This country should be ashamed of themselves and embarrassed how it treats it own native born.. And I have a bachelor's degree and it got me nowhere in America. It's a shame, I never want to go back to America ever again..
Nice the cops don't bother you, now if you could just get ones that look like you to stop bothering the cops at a 10 to one ratio. Stop and frisk save 1000's of lives since deaths now all over NYC.
Teachers are being laid off in California rn
No.
Needed presentation! James Deagle
Maybe all public schools should have a military type element to them , say a basic uniform , drill instruction every morning after saying the pledge of allegiance or singing the USA anthem or in our country O Canada anthem....then time for a healthy morning snack...now hit the books for a few hours and then compulsory sports to end the day. Hold on a sec I think I read about this programming in China
If we don't compensate teachers commensurate with the value of their work America will backslide even further.
AI and the internet is very close to replacing most teachers.
Maybe the should be compensated for the outcome of their work...in that case we all deserve a refund.
Ya think? Dah. Especially Republican states!
Why “especially republican states”?
Do you have an irrational hatred for them?
@@pikeman6774 Lowest paid teachers in the country. Get a clue. Smh.
@@DimplesGenX Yet still the same scores as “democrat states”….what’s does that say?
First off your argument is not just irrational but flawed. It’s flawed because you are irrational.
First off, you are equating a direct one to one comparison between funding and better test scores or graduation outcomes.
That’s not the case. Baltimore public schools is the third most funded school system in the nation, yet out of 36 of their schools 23 couldn’t produce ONE and I repeat ONE 8th grade student that could perform math at grade level.
There is no direct link between more funding and better outcomes. It’s more than just that. It’s comprehensive.
You, have an irrational hatred for “Republican states” that you care to express but don’t care to admit.
@@pikeman6774 no hatred just pity, most republican states have create little revenue but they take the most welfare from the government. Blue states earn higher revenue and provide welfare for Republican states.
@@DimplesGenX Lowest cost of living. Get a clue. Smh.
with the current state of schools and teachers dealing with violent students... i think you might need to do a tad more than just pay them more?
what exactly? idk, i don't work in schools, but if violence is a problem, either counseling or deescalation courses or something?
i remember when i was younger, a room i helped out in for credts, the teacher and aids were trained to defend and restrain the student safely and legally.... bring that back and maybe you'll see an improvement, just an idea based off observation.
yes
I agree that a pay raise would definitely draw few people into the teaching profession, but nobody is talking about the real problem. The real problem is lack of consequences for disruptive students. The admins are afraid they will be sued, so they don't punish them. They will be sent back to the classroom with a lollipop. The kids know this and are abusing the system. The teacher's hands are tied when parents can't control them either. The entire Education System needs a reboot.
A universal basic income worldwide will increase the number of teachers and boost economic growth to unprecedented levels.
Im not even going to watch the video. Its been proven in European countries that less time in the classroom and a better overall curriculum to take care of yourself through life (think wellness wheel) PLUS the addition, but not so much of the stuff we teach already as well.
Stop stressing out the students, we're not the smartest side of the world anymore sadly, and its becaue we want to force coding down kids throats and they don't even know what theyre working with completely yet. We need that life manual most parents wish they had for their kids, but it can actually exist. We can become better than what we are now.
😅 yeah, the money... clearly someone who is not a teacher.
This man has never spent time in a classroom. He is yet another "consultant." We need fewer of them and his ideas reek of inexperience.
Answer: duh.
Who would have thought this would be the solution??? 😅😅
Couldn't hurt.
I don't buy the argument against higher teacher pay. So much tax money is wasted every year on pet projects and stupid stuff. We need some private sector style management to stop the bleeding and reallocated those dollars to teacher retention efforts.
Idk, what are the teachers actually teaching
DEI, CRT, and it's fine that children can change their sexes.
Yes, but parents seem fine raising disrespectful idiots glued to their phones.
No. Not if you're heavily restricted on what you teach : no black history, no sociology, book censorship, etc
And, perhaps no guns, free and universal healthcare, free education - even university, free childcare and so on. I look forward to replies about "socialism", "my freedom", "If you don't like it - move", "nothing is free", "my hard earned money" and "what does this have to do with teachers". For once though , I'll hope some of you actually study different systems. For real I mean.
Given the choice what would you want your taxes to support?
@@wolfie007 Non woke stuff, no transvestite hour for my grade school kid, No sex change education, learn the constitution so that they will know when the news media is talking out their arse, Cognitive tests for presidents with puppet strings, Mandatory military service, reform political donation laws so guys like Soros cannot tip the scales, And oh yea, that money can go to food and assistance programs for American citizens... not illegal aliens.
Oh Jesus someone always has to bring in the nonsense.
@@wolfie007None of those things… maybe affordable childcare.
But the others absolutely not. The telltale sign of the average Dunning Kruger is the argument, “maybe you should study other systems” “for real”….

No to groomers!
