[QUOTE="Kyle78, post: 2853769, member: 27210"] I'm always interested how people get these kind of opinions of teachers. I've got a few theory's, those same people usually hate police as well. My wife is a elementary teacher. She works at least 12 hours per day at the school, some times 18+hours doing extra tutoring for struggling students. She doesn't get extra pay for any of that over time. We figured out she's getting paid about $4 per hour even factoring in the time off during the summer. She works at a extremely poor school, plus 2/3rds of the kids parents are some type of felon. They are almost all on food stampers and have active DHS cases. This year so far, she's had 4 kid suspended, 2 have threated to kill her and other kids at the school. These are 4th graders, they are bringing bottles of alcohol/illegal drugs/prescription pills and porn mags to school every day. That's just her class! She has ZERO parent involvement, she has parents fighting with her about their kids being put in reading intervention classes. THE KIDS CAN'T READ A 1st GRADE BOOK FFS! But the teachers are all blamed for parents failure. The people of Oklahoma are going to have to take a real hard look and decide if we're going to support education. Teachers are leaving in droves, with even more leaving after this year. A failure to pass meaningful education funding/reform is going to drive the final nail into the coffin of Oklahoma. I'm a state employee myself, my family is seriously considering leaving Oklahoma for Texas. We're right on the border already. My wife alone can get a $10,000 salary bonus by just going 20 miles south. [/QUOTE]
