LA Teachers Strike: $73K Is Not Enough

[Unkotare]

The median wage in the USA is about $45k/year. $73k is 62% higher and they're still bitching.

Yep, sounds like Democrats.

The median wage earned in the US does not have the education or experience these teachers have. You also failed to account for the higher cost of living in LA.

Education is the worst it’s ever been in US history.

Based on...?

Graduate knowledge and graduation rates. LA district even dropped its High School graduation tests and still gets only 70% to graduate.

Relative to population size? Factoring participation rates?

Got a link to all this?

Look up LA school district graduation rates and educate yourself.

I guess in fly over country, $73 thousand could be considered a lot of money.

But in a modern, advanced region it’s really not.

For working 180 days?

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

It gets better:

Let’s begin with the makeup of the school district: It boasts a $7.52 billion budget and more than 60,000 employees, including about 26,000 teachers, with the average annual salary being $73,000. While employment has gone up 16% since 2004, enrollment has dropped 10% in the same period.

According to the latest available data, California school funding surged by nearly 10% from 2015 to 2016. If you examine a five-year period (2011 to 2016), school funding in the state is up a whopping 26%. Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) has further proposed the “largest ever investment” in the LAUSD.

Plus, the district already offered LAUSD educators a pay raise of 3% this year and another 3% in 2020. It was rejected.

But the school district can’t afford another pay hike. Next year, LAUSD will have a $422 million budget deficit, mainly because employee pension and health care costs represent a great portion of the budget – they will account for more than half within 10 years. Overall, it has $5.1 billion more in liabilities than in assets and another $15 billion in unfunded health care benefit liabilities for retirees and current workers.

LA Teachers Strike: 73K Is Not Enough.

So if you want to know why teachers can’t get a pay raise, it’s because of teachers.

Just have Google and Facebook pay for their raises. They support the Leftist agenda and are swimming in cash

No. That is simply not true. Why do you apply hyperbole so much? Are you a lib and can't stand the truth? You can't even address my point.

So the teachers are to blame because the students refuse to go to school and graduate?

Right!

 

[initforme]

Ever think low grade rates have anything to do with the students? It's called personal responsibility...or would you rather just have them graduate? Always looking to blame the easy targets.

A few weeks ago I looked at a local historical document that was an oath of loyalty to the American revolution. This was in Virginia in what was well into rural areas under threat of Indian attacks all of the time. These 'hicks' had perfect cursive handwriting, and every one of the hundred or so signatures was written perfectly legible. Today kids can't read or write cursive, tell what time it is, or even find America on a world map.

People today do not need to to read or write cursive. Other than my signature, the last time I wrote in cursive was about 1970-something because it was required.

Handwriting is a physical task that has absolutely no bearing on intelligence or education. My mother had beautiful cursive handwriting and a 7th grade education acquired during the depression. My daughter could not write a sentence in cursive today if you held a gun to her head!

My mother was a stay at home mom because she simply did not have the education to work outside the home. My daughter is an officer in the United States Army currently deployed overseas, with a high school diploma, a GED, and a published work of fiction to her name.

Who is better educated? If you can't figure that out, I'll bet you have beautiful handwriting.

Your own understanding of education is hysterical, not historical.

Cursive was not required to communicate in 1775 either, but people learned it to make themselves better.

There is a reason why every "man on the street let's ask basic questions to people on the street" video features people under 35. Younger people are much less educated.

 

[pismoe]

one big problem of not being able to read Cursive is the History Lost or reinterpreted because a person cannot read the original Cursive . Many times Old Letters from Grandma , Grandpa , Mom , Dad or Government Documents like the Declaration of Independence were ' All ' written in Cursive . Not being able to read Cursive means that a person has to rely on interpreters that are also not able to read Cursive or who are not trustworthy as they insert or remove words or Punctuation that changes meanings eh .

 

[pismoe]

and WHO thinks that Government isn't interested in changing the meanings of important Historical Documents like the Bill of RIGHTS and its Second Amendment as one example eh ??

No. They are not less educated, because they were taught. They simply do not see the need to retain information. You are simply proving your own ignorance every time you make a baseless comment.

You commentary about literacy in backwoods Virginia in 1775 is also a testament to to your historical ignorance. Which schools did these people attend and who taught them? Many sources list the literacy rate at about 60% at best.

Even Abraham Lincoln was mostly self-educated in the early 1800s because he lived in the backwoods of Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois during his formative years.

LA is hundreds of different areas costing different amounts to live. Median income in some areas is $200K. Some areas drop down to $60K. Or $40K. I suppose rents must track funds?

You may be able to rent in Garbage Grove or Santa Ana for $1300? But you wont like it depending on your race and status.

If you’re going to argue with that our discussion is over.

Really? You think that is true?

How about I give you a math problem from a Pre-Calculus class? Could you do it?

What if I asked you the date that Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated? Could you tell me that?

Probably not, because you did not retain the information because you do not use it. I guess, according to you, that means you were never educated.
