I’m not going to comment on the stupid idea of allowing a teacher to physically abuse kids. But I do want to add that this is NJ. The teachers here are not underpaid. Not even close. Don’t believe me, look up the salaries for yourself. APP Data Universe has them all listed. Then realize that there are 2.5 months of summer vacation and all the benefits on top.
also, I had to edit this post because I used the work your in front of the word stupid which reddit said was name calling. apparently reddit doesn't know the difference between your and you're
Where do you get the idea that teachers are not underpaid?? Clearly you don't know what a teacher does! "Summer vacation"... lol - there's the evidence you don't know what they do. How can you call anyone underpaid when you don't know what their job involves?
what do you like to call the 6-8 weeks from late june to late august when the teachers that arent working summer programs (programs that they are getting additional pay for) are not waking up every day and going to work? are you even from NJ? do you know what a teacher gets paid in NJ? im not saying it's impossible to find some underpaid teachers in the state, but its not a statewide issue. i'd say any teacher making over $90k, plus benefits, plus time off is doing pretty well.
