@halsey When I saw you in Mountain View the other night, I prepared my family that you would speak on it. Because I know you to be an advocate and activist. Obviously these people don’t know you as an artist.
@stonesandsnakes@oliviarodrigo@disneyplus It’s a documentary about the making of an album. In the top 5 of the most successful albums released last year. She literally became global overnight. Why wouldn’t she try to capitalize more on that?
@rmsteere @mecagoenahostia @JohnHow1972 @MrNunesteach Teaching might be a choice and yes, we know what we are getting into. However, that doesn’t mean we can’t fight for a better system.
@rmsteere @mecagoenahostia @JohnHow1972 @MrNunesteach I’m sorry but nothing you have said has changed my mind that educators don’t not get paid adequately for the amount of schooling we are expected to have and attain. And all that we have to put up during school and do after our contracted hours.
@TvWghs @JohnHow1972 @rmsteere @MrNunesteach Third, that’s probably only ONE district. That district might have more funding available compared to other parts of the city and state. There is no generalized salary table. Each district has a different scale on their website.
@TvWghs @JohnHow1972 @rmsteere @MrNunesteach Second, I guarantee you that the cost of living is higher in Dallas. I make more in Maryland than I’d make in central PA because it’s more expensive to live in Maryland. So yes, the teachers in Dallas may be making more but how much are they paying to live there?
@TvWghs @JohnHow1972 @rmsteere @MrNunesteach First off, do you notice how the salary goes up $500 a year? That’s just down the line. We are also forced to get more training and pay half out of pocket for it. Moving diagonally across the board. But losing that money we are earning to pay for the high education.
@JCauthern3 @JohnHow1972 @rmsteere @MrNunesteach Most states on the east coast start their teachers between 35k-45k a year. Every year and with higher education, the pay gets higher by a couple thousand. It takes about 20 years of being a teacher to see that salary. Teachers in their first 10 years aren’t making 75k.
