Yes except a teacher’s #### ends up with children as collateral. It seems like many of you have forgotten who we serve.
As other teachers have pointed out (repeatedly): most teachers are happy with the salary, but not classroom size and complexity.
We can’t help kids in classroom sizes of 30 in elementary, and 40 in high school. 5 years ago my class size was a reasonable 25 in elementary, I was disappointed in a 0% raise but I reluctantly accepted because I was supported in the classroom. Paying me more would be a decent alternative to the problem, but would not be the most ideal solution as that still doesn’t directly help the kids.
As much as the UCP wants to pretend teachers are striking over money and not the children, it’s almost weird how some people against teachers in this thread never actually bring up children and keep talking about salary.
