Especially not those crazy American teachers trying to indoctrinate all those poor children
Why not?
he's not wrong. i live in the midwest and starting salary for teachers is $50k. not to mention guaranteed 5% raises and 160% 401k match. and none of them have protested their jobs....
Schools should stick to the basics like reading and math.
Reading, math, and general knowledge should be taught yes. But maybe it's time to get schools to give classes in basic life skills as well, especially in high school. For example; how to actually get a job, how to deal with people, or how to manage money.
A lot of young people struggle with a lot of basic things because no one really teaches them in a time when their brain is geared toward not caring too much, trying things out, and just doing.
Everyone just assumes they know while most of us just muddle around until we finally figure it out.
I know I struggled with money until I finally got in the habit of just not impulse buy anything I liked and stop going out every night.
I have never met a Teacher who made that much in public school. All these people are exagerating their wages or are picked to show the highest wage. Not scientific or revealing.
yes
religion and creation should stay out of schools
Stifler's Mom, make me "twitch"
I bought a 3 story, 4 bedroom, 1/2 bath house on 75 x 200 ft of land with an additional 2 bedroom apt for $39k with a $317/month mortgage.
So, in other words I make aggressively medium money in an extremely depressed area of the country allowing me to live upper middle class.
My wife works as a bartender and makes $165/wk for 41hrs a week plus tips.
Together we'll probably just clear $100k I'm am area where a "good" job (not counting the handful of lawyers, doctors, and other jobs that require an advanced degree) is $15/hr.
The average person here makes maybe $9.50/hr and has to subsidize with food stamps, welfare, etc.
