The class size and special needs argument I'm okay with but salary demands, not so much.
According to this article an average teacher makes $81,500. I'm sorry, but I don't want to see my taxes go up to pay for a 13.7% increase because I think their remuneration is more than reasonable, especially when you consider their benefits package is one that most people would envy. |
it's not that easy to get into the higher grids to reach 72,000+. a majority of the teacher with under 20 years are making 35-50,000. Having gone to post secondary for 3-7 years, it's not a good return on investment. if you're dedicated to moving up in the system, you can get pretty high up but without a masters, a majority of the teachers won't reach anywhere beyond 65,000. just FYI
