Only money can fix education. Lots and lots of money. Dump trucks of it dumped right in a giant hole in Randi Weingarten’s backyard where it travels through the sewers into the coffers of top Democrats.
When we pay our teachers like we pay NBA players, only then will children get to the halfway mark at reading. Instead, we pay them like WNBA players.
For now, New York City schoolteachers must somehow survive on a miserly $150,000 a year.
New York City educators will get fat pay hikes and bonuses of up to 20% under a new five-year, $6.4 billion labor contract announced Tuesday by Mayor Eric Adams and the United Federation of Teachers.
The top teacher salaries for the longest serving teachers will exceed $150,000 for the first time.
The proposed contract also cuts in half — from 15 to eight years — the length of time it takes most teachers to reach a salary of $100,000.
The agreement covering 120,000 teachers and other staff also expands voluntary virtual learning opportunities for students — an initiative pushed by Adams and Schools Chancellor David Banks.
Because the one thing we’ve learned is how well Zoom school works.
Still, most NYC teachers deserve that six-figure salary considering how well the students are learning.
Less than half of all 3rd through 8th graders in New York City were proficient in reading in 2019, according to state test data cited in the report.
It’s our fault. Surely if we paid teachers like NBA players, the students would know how to read.
When teachers are not doing their jobs. When school administrators are not doing their jobs. When school boards are not doing their jobs. When elected officials are not doing their jobs. When students are not doing what is required to become decent useful citizens. When parents or single moms or dads are not doing their job regarding their children. Then you might as well kiss the educational system good-bye and close down all the public schools and save the taxpayers a lot of money.
The parents can teach their children at home or send their children to private schools.
The WNBA uses a smaller lighter ball than the NBA. Nobody knows why. I suspect that when LeBron completes his transition, he’ll be a top scorer in the WNBA thanks to the easier size and weight of the ball, as he’s used to a larger, heavier ball. He will also give some credibility to the league and will increase viewership and revenue.
This was a ;political payoff for teachers who clearly can’t and won’t teach
To students who, in many cases, can’t or don’t want to learn.
Creeping illiteracy. People don’t realize that it wasn’t too long ago that most of the population was illiterate (unable to read or write).
Gee Mayor Mushmouth, 6.4 billion?
That’s what happens when you get the guy you negotiate with elected. Government employee unions contributing to political campaigns is a blatent conflict of interest. It should be illegal, but is business as usual. And the result, a big raise for doing a lousy job.
In REAL LIFE,”SUCCESS” is Rewarded!With”The Left”,it’s just the OPPOSITE????????????????
There is a demonic, incestuous relationship between the Teacher’s Onion and democrat politicians who negotiate Teacher’s Onion contracts. The Teacher’s Onion knows that the democrats running cities and counties and states want to give them exorbitant pay and benefits, but, the democrat politicians and their bed partners aka the Teacher’s Onion know they have to pretend they are negotiating for photo ops. So they pretend to negotiate for pay and benefits they all know the incompetent and corrupt teachers do not deserve. They both already know what they are going to agree to long before they ever sit down for their show. There is no way any teacher can say they care about children and go on strike and harm the education of children. If democrat politicians cared about children they would demand the right to fire striking, incompetent and pedophile teachers.
Is this a salary for ants?
They hold up taxpayers, steal their wallets and on top of that they get a $3K ratification bonus. What a country.
Public school educati9n is not results oriented. Any cursory glance at the test scores a Master of the Obvious can see that no one cares about student performance. It simply is a money pit to buy and ensure a large voting block for the liberals.
Yeah, screw teachers! They don’t deserve a living wage. It’s their fault, all teachers, in every school in New York, that in certain areas there are high levels of illiteracy. Let’s punish them all! Lazy bastards. It’s not like teaching public school is an important job or anything.
This country would be much better off if all public schools shut down and only those who can afford it can attend private school. That’ll keep the woke communist Democrats from taking over.
God you people are morons.
Good old “fail up”
Teachers Union are like all Public Unions they payoff the Democrats that run the cities and counties so they get it paid back in money to pensions and salaries. It does not matter how good of a job they do as they work for the politicians and not for the people. If people want their kids to learn then they will do it via home schooling or look for private schools and give up on public schools.
