There are both bad and good teachers in our public schools. Bad teachers hurt our kids, Good teachers pay their union dues to ensure the bad teachers can never be fired.

How do you expect to survive on 50,000 to 75000 a year we're not Savages, we can't afford our caviar on that....

DPS teachers say they're striking for a 'living wage'. Living wage in Denver=$28k, DPS base pay STARTS $43k for 0 yrs exp & BA, w/avg pay at $54k. If they're working 2 or 3 jobs, they need to learn $ mgmt & should have thought abt cost/ben analy b4 getting their degrees.

Greed. teachers around America don't realize taxes go up for their pay raises and it harms families.

Do they teach their students cursive or how to read an analog clock? If doing their job, pay them their worth.

LockThemUp

How selfish

Support our teachers and support our future
