American Teachers Overpaid ?

How can the Republicans justify putting the future of this country in jeopardy by cutting teacher pay, while at the same time giving more and more money to the rich?

Depends on where you live. Teachers here on LI are ridiculously overpaid. And they all cry poverty. But they have one of the highest starting salaries of any jobs available on Long Island.

ReplyDeleteTeachers do a lot of work on their own time. We don't need to go backward and under pay our teachers.
