Meanwhile, nearby districts have already locked in raises or stipends. With the new school year around the corner, everyone’s watching to see if these teachers will get the boost they deserve! #Education #K12 #TeacherPay00Share
benjaminharvey+FollowWhy do people keep saying teachers are underpaid? 🤔I’ve been thinking a lot lately… Why do people always say teachers are underpaid? I mean, the salary isn’t too bad, and with so many holidays and benefits, it doesn’t seem like the worst gig. But somehow, the whole “teacher salaries are too low” thing still comes up all the time. Teachers, what’s your take? Any stories or thoughts to share? 🤷♀️ #TeacherPay #TeacherLife #TeachingJobs90Share
Robert Bauer+FollowLow Teacher Pay = Low Education Quality... A Harsh Reality😞West Virginia ranks dead last in average teacher pay across the U.S. With such low wages, it’s no surprise that we struggle to retain quality educators. Many of our best teachers leave for neighboring states, where they’re paid more and treated better. This brain drain leaves our schools struggling, and our students pay the price. We’re also at the bottom for student test scores. While test scores aren’t everything, they do reflect deeper issues—overworked teachers, underfunded schools, and a system that isn’t setting our kids up for success. How can we expect great education when we don’t invest in the people providing it? What do you think would help keep good teachers in West Virginia? #teacherpay00Share
