Teachers deserve more

[OgNasty]

A lot of talk is made about how teachers are underpaid, and I get it.  Comparing them to some other professions like car salesmen, real estate agents, financial advisors, etc.  They are criminally underpaid.  However, teachers do get some good perks.  A shortened workday and summers off, great medical insurance, great retirement benefits, etc.  So it isn't exactly all bad.  Plenty of teachers find summer jobs to really pad their income if they want to work year round.  Do they deserve more, sure, but they don't have it terribly.  Moreso I think inflation has made it so middleman jobs like salesmen/real estate agents, or other jobs that people could easily do without like financial advisors are highly overcompensated for the value they provide.

I sure wouldn't want to be a teacher these days, even if they waned me to open carry in the classroom. The money would have to be pretty good.


Shocking new video shows police in Uvalde running from shooter, chaotic first moments as school massacre unfolded

Exclusive video that was obtained by the Austin American-Statesman and KVUE shows mass chaos and confusion inside and outside Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, on May 24, as well as the chaotic first moments as the recent massacre of 19 children and two adults began to unfold.

The video begins by showing the suspected killer crashing his vehicle into a ditch near the school before getting out and apparently taking his first shots at two people who appear to be police officers approaching his vehicle. He then takes aim and fires directly at the school.

Next, a female teacher is then heard yelling, “The kids are running! Oh my God … Get down! Get in your room! Get in your rooms!”

The video clips also include audio of when shots are first fired at the school from outside the building.

From there, the killer is seen entering the school at 11:33 a.m. At one point, a young student comes around a hallway and sees the shooter but the shooter does not see the student.

Caption in the video informs viewers that the shooter then began to open fire inside two classrooms, where the shooting continued for two and a half minutes. The video explains that more than 100 shots were fired. That particular footage, however, has been removed from the video, as well as screams from the children.

Teachers is important everywhere both in the academician and technically way of life, teachers are the builder of nation's because they have their way of making this easier to people, i believe that without teachers people will not be totally successful today because everything that we have the knowledge it's because of teachers why we know things that is different

[Ripe_berry]

touchy subject

kindergarten/playschool:
teachers usually are just there as babysitters. giving kids a paintbrush or a ball to play with while parents work.
some do however go the extra mile to inspire and teach. but broadly its a babysitting gig.
its a little hard to gauge which Kindergarten teacher has gone the extra mile. unless their was a 'parent survey' teacher review system to rate teachers based on toddlers behaviour.
..

k-12/primary school:
classes teach the basic things society need to get on day to day. reading, calculating. learning a bit about history and how things work. which is pivotal for making the difference of the success of a kid in later life. this needs to be rewarded to ensure all kids get a good first step into eduction and life. by this i mean rewarded based on a % based on the success of all kids in the class meeting basic thresholds.
many schools/education systems dont have diploma's or exams, where kids move on to secondary/highschool even if they have not learned how to read or write where by 'graduating' is based on age not skill.

kids should not be held back from their peers by keeping them in k-12 until they pass an exam. but k-12 teachers should not get a bonus if half the class cant read when the kids age-out of k-12.

..

highschool/secondary school:
teach kids many things. but sometimes useless things that are never used in the real life, taking time away from things that might be used in the real world.. like wasting weeks on trigonometry, but not taking a day to learn about how banks 'print money' using the scam deception of credit cards and mortgages. i think keeps should learn about responsible 'lending'/using credit. more so than trigonometry.

teacher should be more rewarded for teaching life skills and things that are needed. not rewarded for following a national curriculum plan
..

universities/colleges:
each student pays on average $£10k+ a year and a class is like 30+students strong, some 100 per class. meaning the professors are paid many hundreds of thousands.. by which the quality and depth of detail of those classes should reflect over $300k of professors teaching.
many university professors just turn up, write a title on a chalk board, and ask their students to do their own research on the topic. something not worthy of $300k a year

..
im not saying dont reward teachers for what they are doing now. im saying add in some incentive for teachers to go the extra mile. and reward that with extra reward

This is the fact. Teacher are and were in everyone's life right from the tender age. Even in the life of the so called presidents, legislatures, senators, and all these prominent men and women. They deserve more, they deserve a good and encouraging pay, deserved to be rewarded every now and then not " your reward is in heaven" kind of pay.

Teachers deserve more no doubt about that,  it is so sad in the world teachers are not value they all receive the same treatment of not receiving better allowance. I don't know why government have nor look into the reward of teachers,  because of the treatment teachers are giving teaching job looks very common to many.

Teachers are nation builder. Teachers are professional who are trained specifically to train pupils, students from kindergarten  to the terminal of education in any part of the world. Teachers are builders who psychologically and educationally trained to understand  the mental ability of every child to be what they can do best in pursuit of education.

Today's world of development call it engineering,  medical,  military,  religion  etc, are the brain work of a teacher. So looking at the human development holistically,  without Teachers the world would not get to where it is. It would be appropriate to say after God, the Teachers should be mark next for the ability to procreate and bring human to what they should be in the future.

In this sense it is up to say that teacher should be well rewarded if we need the best from them, no teacher no development as the case may be.

I must agree that teachers have the right to get more especially for every teacher who serves and gives his life for the totality of education for the marginalized or people in the jungle. There are many stories of teachers who devoted their lives only to educate and provide knowledge.

In my country, especially the remote Papua region, it is very vulnerable to internal conflicts between ethnicity, politics and social inequality. there are some teachers who are willing to devote their lives just to serve and provide education to those who are often used as propaganda tools. 

In other areas (Island Lampung) there are several inland tribes whose lives are nomadic, there is a young female teacher from the city who is willing to sacrifice her life just to become a teacher in the middle of the wilderness. he doesn't even get a salary from the central or local government, or donations from outside parties, he does it voluntarily. for me he or the teacher I was talking about were heroes without merit. This is just one true story that has inspired me a lot from the stories of other teachers around the world.

Truth be told teachers belong to the most useful professionals in the society. I can't just imagine the world without a teacher, no matter how intelligent one might be, teaching is still required to bring out the best in you. Truly teachers deserve more accolades and rewards as form of encouragement for them to do more in training the future leaders of the our planet earth.

Teachers right from time have been well neglected in the society despite the indispensable role they play in the society. Without teachers am not sure any sector or discipline will be.

This less regards giving to teachers especially in the third World society has made many up coming generation have no interest in the teaching profession.
Let us uphold teachers to a limelight for they are like the light of every society.

[Frankolala]

   Teachers deserves to be paid and rewarded more the truth is that everybody is a born teacher because God created us to teach people about his words meaning spreading the good news about Jesus Christ.
   Parents are the first teachers that teach their kids from infant till they get to two years on how to talk,walk and so on.At this age kids ask so many questions about things they want to know and you must tell them.
   In kindergarten, the teacher does mostly baby sitting but I bet you that is the hardest class in teaching because you must love the children, meaning you tolerate every negative act or habit to make sure the child is always happy coming to school. They are also taught how to pronounce the numbers and alphabet or even how to hold a pencil properly.In everything we do these days in real life we use numbers and alphabets.
 
   In primary school teachers starts teaching and building up these children to bring out the best in them. Topics like drug abuse abuse, personal hygiene, sex education and so on,which are very helpful in real life practice.
   In secondary school trigonometry is a topic that also have a life solving for example,a ladder is 10m long resting on a vertical wall of 8m high.Find the distance of the foot of the ladder from the wall. An electrical engineer that want to repair or work on an electric pole must follow this steps or any work to be done with a ladder follows this procedure in our real life practice. In fact most science fields are real life practice, football academy is a school,it is also a real life practice.

   Even the bitcoin that we all have knowledge on today that brought everyone into this forum was introduced to us by someone or we even paid to get the knowledge on how to trade and mining, that person who introduced or taught you is ayour teacher.To create a website you must know BODMAS,which is also taught in schools.
   Teachers don't only educate us academically but also morally and technically. Is just that teachers varies some teach in schools and some in other learning environment. We should respect and reward the teachers more as we are all teachers, the difference is that there are good and bad teachers. Which one of them are you ? No teachers.....No civilization

Right from time teachers have been  underrated when it comes to the amount of their payment,  sometimes I feel it is impossible for teachers to be rewarded in time coming. The only thing I can say is that teachers are indeed heroes in this world we belong to. What surprises me most about teachers is that they do their work with happiness.

[CryptocurencyKing]

I have a different idea to this. I think there are levels to this and in as much as the profession might look as though they are under paid, the few who did a good job are often appreciated by there students and that's where the real reward should be.
It might be a profession, a paid job but still, you owe it to your teacher as a learned person if you choose to reward them for the many years they've put into making you become what you indeed become. It's as simple as that should you as an individual not be satisfied with what they are paid.

[chexychukra]

Definitely! In some countries teachers are very badly paid. And you are right, they are the basis of the social system in general

[BADecker]

But teachers of children SHOULD be poorly paid. Why? Because most of them don't really know how to think, even about what they are teaching. They are rote teachers, simply parroting what they have learned in teaching college. The only time they finally might understand is after they have been teaching the same classes for 2 or 3 decades.

The few teachers who really know what they are talking about, and understand the deeper meanings, gradually move into higher teaching schools... colleges and universities. Or they quit and go on into a field that is more rewarding.

Pay the teachers what they are worth... babysitter pay, like while the parents are out at a movie.

[TwitchySeal]

A good teacher can be the reason a child ends up a normal adult instead instead of a BADecker.

A poor teacher is the reason why TwitchySeal ended up a sick propagandist rather than a normal adult. Is he an adult?

[Spontaneous]

  I think this year were very special in every student and teacher, cause the normal life of teaching are going on. Every student are excited to go in school since the day that they expect last year was ruin their expectations. But now I know more student will be active and productive. An we're thankful to our beloved teacher who sacrifice everything in time of pandemic.

It is never easy to be a teacher,because a teaching takes alot of sacrifices,and those sacrifices are done by only the people who have decided to give their all to the profession that they are into.
Teaching requires impacting knowledge to people who are eager to get it.Teachers should be appreciated because they contribute to the creation of human being

[BADecker]

Save a lot of money. Drop the teacher pay down to minimum wage or less. After all, the kids can learn more on their own without the teachers. That's what the records seem to be showing.


‘F*** Wirepoints’ Says Chicago Teachers Union When Confronted With Facts From The School District Itself – Wirepoints

On August 5, Wirepoints' Matt Rosenberg wrote about empty, failing Chicago Public Schools. The numbers we reported are truly astonishing but they are the school district's own.

Mike Flannery of FOX 32 Chicago asked the Chicago Teachers Union to join his show to discuss the numbers along with Wirepoints' Ted Dabrowski.

"F*** Wirepoints," was the union spokesman's answer to Flannery. He used the whole word and said his answer was on the record, according to Flannery. The spokesman added nothing more about the numbers and did not join the video segment, which is here (or below) at the 8:30 mark, wherein Flannery described the union's response.

Is the union so confident in its political power that it can respond to legitimate issues in such a manner?

Is that how the union believes Chicago students should be educated to engage in discourse?

Teacher's efforts and teacher's salary


https://twitter.com/HelpATeacher/status/1563967443369922562?t=HhnNOsAyscWkFMoOrxrUeQ&s=19

of course we all know how the teachers have been working tirelessly in giving out quality education on children who are the future leaders of tomorrow, but yet when we are to talk about their pay in wages, it's nothing to write about because they get so little in return to what they are giving out, but i want to believe that despite this challenge, not every country treat their teachers in such manners, they have a payment scale accredited by the government as minimum wage which they all follows especially in the advance and developed countries unlike the underdeveloped ones that does not have a standard for teachers salary.

indeed the teacher has an important role in life, successful people now are not far from the teacher,

and the teacher is not just a school teacher,
Even people who teach you good things are considered teachers.

so we all have to respect the teachers who have educated us, especially at school, they are also our second parents.

respect the people who have educated you.
