Teachers can't afford Denver without living with roommates and getting side jobs

Were is all the pot money going?

I had a job like that once. I left on a Thursday and never went back. Roll on outta there. Get a job working for the federal government. Highest paid gig I ever had.

Avg.Teacher pay in Denver is between $50 & $65 thousand. R they spending $ on cable, high phone fees, exp clothes, eating drinking out?

And neither can I as I work two jobs to feed my family but you want me to be ok with you taking more of my money so they get more just because they are teachers? Not gonna happen

Didn’t they know teachers are underpaid when they CHOSE to be teachers? So, they’re striking against themselves for picking a low paying profession? I hear Uber and Lyft are looking for drivers if any teachers want to actually work.

Can they opt out of the Union and negotiate their own pay if they are good teachers?

What are the doing with all that tax money from Marijuana sales ?

TELL THEM TO STOP WASTING THEIR MONEY INSTEAD OF WASTING OUR TIME!!!!

Government clearly is an evil corporation and unions fees confiscated from employee paychecks is the solution.

Wow 50 grand a year and not enough for working less than 10 months a year. Something is wrong somewhere.

Curious...what’s their benefit package like? Free everything.....dental, medical, vision? And what is there retirement package? Free stuff? If you sign up to be a teacher, and expect a 6 figure salary.....very presumptuous of you.

Teachers keep striking in these Democrat controlled cities 🤔

We all are living on Poverty Pay except Trump and his Rich Buddies,how did taxes work out for all you that voted for him?

That’s what you get in a Liberal state

Teachers are public servants who deserve so much better. We should be saluting them like we do our military.

I saw a documentary that showed where all the money for education goes. It's all being stolen by the board of education executives and their politics. The money doesn't even reach the kids. They need to dismantle the board and change the current system because it's not working.

Most people didn't even read the article. These teachers are making a decent salary and don't even have to work during the summer time! Rent in Denver is below national average. They are living above their means.

This one is cute ... raise her salary Denver !

I stand with them as a small business owner who is watching her deductions decrease I was told I can no longer write off the gas I spend on business for my mowers while the 1 percent can write off a tooth brush!

I agree with them. Teachers are way underpaid compared to the importance of their job.

Looks like I need to to back to school and be a teacher. Summers, weekends, holidays off, soon to be a even better pay and a great pension. dreamjob

Fuckin Government 🥺🖕

Sad stories, and I wish them luck. Get that $$$$$

We were told weed was supposed to take care of all those problems.

They spend it all on MaryJane

these are educated people working multiple jobs and can't save? what a bunch of bull!

The pay system in this country is way too lopsided. One guy buys a place for a quarter billion dollars in NYC as a vacation pad, while people like these teachers are struggling just to survive.

But they get a pension which will be more income than 90% of Americans get in retirement

There should be no reason to not pay our teachers properly. Stop messing with funds. Take it from the pot tax and move on. God knows we all pay enough tax for the weed we smoke. Federal regulators made it so that you can’t get fed grants if you take pot $$$. Ridiculous

Good for them...the people that teach our future leaders deserve a living wage.

Sad that we can fund endless wars, but can’t pay teachers :(

Weed habits?

Poll: Nearly half of California voters say they can't afford living in the stateThat big number was driven by younger voters: 61 percent of voters age 18 to 34 said they can't afford to live in the state. Guess when you have 1000s upon 1000s of homeless people, kind of gives it away. I'm sure prices in CA will come down when it becomes a sanctuary state overrun by illegal immigrants, many of whom are MS-13. Hmm. Maybe it has something to do with the way the State is governed.
