teachers aren't going on strikes without cause
there are government assistance programs for various fields, doesn't mean people are actually being assisted

there's no incentive to do good work when there isn't decent support

i dont think it's a field i'd go to college and graduate school for...not at this time

Actually the people at my job....which is way more challenging....get paid way less.
Teachers be tryna fool yall having yall thinking they make pennies when a lot of places start out at 45k+ and they get more money for doing after school programs...summer school...standing in the lunchroom during lunch etc. 

this is true....for those in certain states. 

but I'm from NC and our teachers are always lowest paid. 

I thought NYC recently gave their teachers a raise and retroactive pay?

Man please....

In Texas...
*the average start for a teacher is about $50,000 (and there were raises recently)
*They get paid a $3,000 stipend for each AP/IB class they teach
*They get  $$$ for being a UIL coordinator
*They get $$ if they coach.
*They get $$$ for SPED certifications
*If they teach Science or Math, they get $17,000 in loan forgiveness.
*If they teach English, they get $5,000 in loan forgiveness.
*They already have a built in retirement system. (TRS)

There's money in education..If they wanted to be a curriculum specialist, add another $20,000 a year....

Should it be harder tho? No..Teachers go thru loops to get certified...and the test aren't easy

Much of this might be true.... But... as an educator (non teacher) I know that you really arent getting paid much. A teacher may have a salary of 50,000 but after mandatory TRS it really is about 42,000. trust me I know. Many teachers also purchase supplies for the rooms because the districts dont give money for your supplies... 

They work more than 8 hrs a day. Most through their 30 minute lunch and 50 minute plan period. With the new demands of teaching you are taking work home every night, coming early  and leaving late. Let's say 10-12 hr days on a 42, 000 take home. 

Some teacher may capitalize on the perks listed above but that's not the majority. There are only so many coaches, sped teachers, and AP teachers needed in a building.

I refer to the starting salary, but that increases every year. I know teachers that make $75,000+a year. If a teacher is taking home work that's a shame and they need to make better use of their time.Ouch

I think teachers should stop dipping into their own funds, even though they can write it off at the end of the year. Texas has 99 problems, but funding education isn't one in most cases. 

Staying 12 hours a day? I don't see that either.....Dept. Head maybe, but not every single teacher (esp in high school). 

The teacher you're describing sounds like a 1st yr teacher with no experience.
