I think teachers deserve a higher starting salary.
Well actually, I think they deserve more in general annually.
I mean we give millions to individual athletes…
So, I’m sure we can afford to give more to those who we trust to teach, our children how to write and read.
I mean, to me, it’s obvious and honestly it boggles me how we don’t place a higher value on teachers in our society.
Literally in those seats, sit future leaders of education and microbiology.
Potentially a student with a future presidential candidacy.
And that’s why I believe no teacher should have to moonlight.
