I'm very pro teacher and even posted a thread earlier today. They may have idea

about starting salaries but probably not the politics, pandemic problems or lack of adequate supplies furnished etc. I have 6 kids and wouldn't want to teach more than that..

Thank you to all the teachers for trekking through it.
Same feeling toward nurses.

If being anti teacher means you don't think it is the hardest job then yes I'm anti teacher.

1. You don't have to 2. Teachers chose their profession knowing the salaries

Sounds like maybe no one should ever complain about anything ever again.

When I switched careers, I knew the salary.

I am pro teacher as well. I think unions and admin are holding teachers back

I wish we could stop with this ignorance. Other countries pay teachers well

What is "well" and what are these countries?

The problem is that those states that pay more don't have better results than UT

Teaching Primary ≠ teaching school.

I read that assuming he was talking primary school, meaning elementary school.

Wait...you spend several hours to prepare your Primary lesson??

Teachers are public employees - which means the voting public (us) have a say

The teacher union in Utah is almost non existent

Good. Wish more states followed.

Teachers Unions do nothing for teachers, at least in the State of Utah.

Kilgruman

That's not true. They get in the way of good teaching and take their money.
