[QUOTE="filbert, post: 3219840, member: 18970"] First, Oklahoma can't compete with Texas when it comes to pay, that will always be held over our heads. Dallas has more people and money then the whole state of Oklahoma, you think you can compete with them? Lol And you are right, teachers hands are tied, so who is trying to change that? No body, not the state, school boards, teachers or parents. Local schools fight to not change, OEA will fight to allow charter schools, or just let the parents pick where their kids go to schools, etc., Yes, I know some teachers, and they are no different then other workers, some are good and some aren't, but they can have good jobs. A lot of time off, and benefits. If they don't like it quit. Last, my kids mom homeschooled both of our children, she did a great job. When she schooled them she had a GED, later she got an associate degree, and then a bachelors degree. We cared about our kids, because she stayed home we lost 12 years of income she could have made, lets see, 12 years @ 40,000$ = 480,000$. How many vacations, cars, boats, dirt bikes, ski trips would that have bought? We are divorced now, but she did an awesome job with the kids and I will always be thankful to her for that.
