There are 11,000 teacher vacancies across our state. Think about what that means for the children in those classrooms. We must increase teacher pay. We can't compete if we rank 44th in the nation for starting pay, and that's a fact. It's time we show our teachers we value them.
At the end of the day we all have to find and match socks, which is quite possibly the most infuriating thing on the planet. And that my friends is the greatest common factor.
