I had 3-4 teachers that I thought were really good and excited me about learning and whatever. I had 3 that were just terrible for quite a few reasons (one of them made a girl cry in the middle of class because her grading scheme made 0 sense at all).

The rest were fine for the most part.

We should pay teachers more and make it harder to become one. That way we can attract successful motivated people to the field instead of pretending like the only good teacher is one that genuinely wants to teach (and will get paid a pittance to do it).

It's a sad commentary on our society that 'if you can't do, teach!' is a common joke. Well if our teachers are so bad then how do we expect anything else to function right?

maybe because school is a daycare (and public school is child abuse). You learn actual things outside of school

95% of the people who teach in the public education system are worthless trash and they chose that career path because they wanted an easy job they could be absolute poo poo at and never be fired from

all the people i know who got masters degrees or higher teach at private schools and make close to 6 figures, don't deal with worthless or nonexistent parents, and can actually discipline and teach kids poo poo

public education in the us is a loving joke and should not be applauded at all

I think we could fix schools by making public schools not have to take in kids whose parents don't pay property tax.

Maybe because many places you start at poverty level wages and can have 10+ years experience and just barely break $40k. That is unless you live in a state like either Wisconsin or Minnesota where starting teachers make something like $75-80k.

I have two master's degrees, 10 years experience, and was a finalist for state teacher of the year two years ago. I make 57k over 10 months.

I love the job though, except for the two month unpaid furlough each year.

The pension is the only thing that makes teaching for more than a few years possible but considering the amount of education and hours that teachers put in they would all be 30-40% better off as pipefitters with an index fund.

I am a teacher in Minnesota. Starting salary in my district this year is just below 40k. Where did you hear this ridiculous 75-80k number? That is what you make if you have a Master's +30 additional credits and have 20 years seniority.
