Not sure where you came up with $35k but according to the CDE, as of 2018-2019 the average salary of CA Public School Teacher was over $83K.Teachers union won't budge especially since most take home around $35k yr after tax and health insurance yet we pay the girl who's picking her ass and smelling it $15hr min wage to work at McDonald's.
I wish people would stop blaming the teachers for not wanting to go into a classroom of people who may or may not be bringing a virus that could make them very ill. If people took more time with their own kids instead of letting the internet and tv raise them it would be less of a problem (no I am not talking about the people working 2 jobs to put food on the table and a roof over their head). I now know several people that have come down with this nasty little bug and they were following protocols as best as possible. The people that are "hurting" the kids are the adults who keep trying to blame other people for the messes that other adults create.CIF, thus youth sports are tied to public schools reopening. The CA Teachers Unions are hurting our kids...sick part is, we're letting them.
Wow, says I gross about $40,000 more than I really make. They lump our insurance benefits into our salary. Very misleading. We make less per hour, per kid than a babysitter. Most of us educators want to teach in person. Online teaching and learning is more difficult for all of us, teachers and students. So sorry you rich stay at home mommies and daddies have to parent right now. Homeless and foster youth are going to in-person school in our district to get more support. Our special Ed population who need in-person services are also getting support. Stop blaming the educators for your problems.Transparent California

Don’t lots of public school teachers also spend money out of their own pocket to purchase supplies for the classroom and are never reimbursed by the district?Wow, says I gross about $40,000 more than I really make.

I didn’t even account for that...right now even more to support our online programs. Converted spaces for an office (garages, attics, bedroom space), extra computers, ink, paper, art supplies mailed home, packets, reinforcement prizes via Amazon deliveries, etc. So many other things I can’t even begin to list.Don’t lots of public school teachers also spend money out of their own pocket to purchase supplies for the classroom and are never reimbursed by the district?
That is not what most senior teachers make, especially not when you count the value of the pension.Teachers union won't budge especially since most take home around $35k yr after tax and health insurance yet we pay the girl who's picking her ass and smelling it $15hr min wage to work at McDonald's.

It sounds like you believe you are not appreciated by your employer. Have you thought about finding another employer that appreciates your efforts?I didn’t even account for that...right now even more to support our online programs.

We put money into our pensions, so it’s not for free. After 30 years of teaching, teachers deserve a good pension and a few 2% raises along the way. Most of us at 30 years have Masters degrees, Ed.Ds, or Ph.Ds to increase our pay scale as well as become better educators and we make so much less than private sector counterparts with the same degrees. I have seen so many educators retire after 40 plus years and pass away before enjoying their pension. Most educators would love to make what they’re worth, but most do it for the students. We all started as young teachers and, yes, the beginning years with a young family can be tough financially but teaching will never be about being rich. I just hope future generations will still choose education as a profession even though the pay is not great considering the required education.That is not what most senior teachers make, especially not when you count the value of the pension.
Yes, the union and the district completely cheat the younger ones, but that is another story entirely.
It’s not about my employer appreciating us. It’s about how little some parents appreciate educators.It sounds like you believe you are not appreciated by your employer. Have you thought about finding another employer that appreciates your efforts?

Whatever happened to our country? Magats consider public school teachers to be the enemy. They hate our children so much they support Qanon crazies who harass survivors of school shootings and even claim they’re hoaxes. They support a party that tried to overthrow democratic government. They whine about the deficit right up until their Mango Magat Master runs up the highest deficit in world history, and then they’re right back it after he lost worse than he loses a fight with a glass of water, pretending it never happened. They think a dead south american dictator conspired with a voting machine company and the democratic party to engage in election fraud. They think that people and companies exercising their 1st Amendment rights actually violates the 1st Amendment.
But it’s all the fault of teachers.
