View Profile History	Teachers on Stike Posted : 12 Sep, 2012 07:59 PM I thought I read the average was around $74,000 but still. They are forgetting what's important here and that is the students. These teachers disagree with the idea of merit based pay. There are no winners here as the students will suffer. The teachers disagreed with a 16% raise over the next 3 or 5 years(something like that). I'm all for having teacher's wages be higher where they deserve it and where it is extremely low. Post Reply

All teachers need to be evaluated before they going into the field of teaching. Being a High School teacher is a hard postion and many are not tolerant or compassionate. So, they should have chose another type of Career. Post Reply
