So Biden’s $15 minimum wage comes out to $31,200 a year for a 40 hour work week. The starting salary for a beginning teacher in Texas is $33,660. So a person working a minimum wage job will be making almost the same as a teacher with a college degree. Does this make any sense? 🤷♂️
Hi! This is just a reminder that in 2019 it was found that the districts with the highest percentages of students of color receive, on average, $1800 less per student of state/local funding than the districts with the fewest students of color. Now THAT, is absolute crap.
Sending love to all who are back to school this week, especially those for whom the school building is their safe place, where they receive meals, and have access to learning tools. May we all work toward equity in education during this time.
A teacher has already died from COVID. She shared a summer school classroom with two other teachers, all wearing masks, and no students. https://t.co/4f4xRM1LFF
“Many of our teachers are young, not old” .. sir 1 in 4, are at higher risk of serious illness (bc health conditions, age, etc). That’s nearly 1.5 million, not counting the other school staff members that we undoubtedly need.
Let's use common sense in the reopening of our schools. The evidence shows children are not at risk or are at very small risk from #COVID19. We can use what we have learned from the #coronavirus in a very effective way to control the virus and not let the virus control us.
BREAKING: The Trump administration has rescinded a rule that would have forced international students to leave the country if their colleges hold classes online this fall. The administration was sued over the new policy by Harvard and MIT. https://t.co/5kqSNY7r2C
In this country Viagra is covered by insurance without question, but birth control coverage is dependent upon the religious ideals of employers/institutions.
If that sounds:
- misogynistic
- discriminatory
- irresponsible
- indicative of systemic sexism
that’s because it is!
