What about African centered charter schools?In the myriad of problems with education, this is a big one. Charter schools should not be an acceptable answer to well-funded and staffed public schools. This world ain't right.

Dallas is in a RED STATEFriend is teaching in Dallas and will be pulling almost $70k...that's just regular elementary and a few years experience. Teachers can make good money in the right city but they work MUCH harder for their money than an equivalent salaried job.
The fact he was only making $43k tells me he's in (probably) a red state and lower COL area where Walmart has more juice than any employer. $55k for any managerial gig is not enough. People can make 2x or 3x that much and not manage a single person.



I agree. Thats why it is extremely important for us to take an active role in both raising and educating our children. Problem is, its difficult for a lot of people to find the necessary time to take any kind of meaningful role. Whats more, too many people just flat out suck at parenting. To the point that even if they did have the time they wouldnt bother to invest it in their children if they could. As u sagely pointed out, they pretty much send them to school just to get them out of their hair. And thats how these schools get away with such an abysmal performance.Honestly the 50% and 12+ years is the biggest problem, you basically aren’t even really raising your kid when they spend that much time under another adult. We created an over reliance on using schools as day care and now the system is very overwhelmed
It’s by design. They’re deliberatetly underpaid, because a teacher who’s well paid enjoys their job and does it well, which would make our public more informed and learned than is appropriate in a democracy like ours. So, public education is underfunded, denied the resources on which the annual production of a healthy and critically adept student body depends. This is also why there is such a push for vouchers and charter schools, privatized education that prioritizes profit over teaching children anything worthwhile beyond devotion to the state and its exceptionalism.Teachers are extremely important. Shame they are so underpaid.


Dallas is in a RED STATE
COL across Texas is pretty much the same my guy unless you go west towards Mountain Country/Hill Country/El Paso/ down towards the Valley
In Texas it truly depends on school districts/Public vs Private, etc
I know two teachers in Houston that work for HISD and they are making pretty much the same as buddy
I know one from my Alma Mater in Alief making $58,000 and she graduated the same school as me
Then I know a teacher at my daughters private school making $80k a year
Your post speaks so matter of factly and contradicts itself in the end
Also leaves out nuance but I don’t expect much from nikkas of thecoli
Y’all just post some shyt and the other nikkas with no life experience believe and dap you

I wouldn't be surprised if in the future, physical schools begin to start to get done away with in favor to online programs. With a possible return child labor.
With all the blatant anti-intellectualism and sexualized agendas being blatantly pushed in our current system, lawmakers will have leverage on both sides to make changes. Not to mention the lockdowns.
