Boo hoo, teachers might not get a raise. Starting pay is $43,240 for 184 days — that’s 7½ hours a day, $235 a day and $31.33 an hour. Many teacher receive $60,000 per year, which comes out to $44.20 an hour. They also receive medical, dental and retirement benefits and paid sick days. They get paychecks 24 times a year, rather than only the months they work.
Perhaps teachers should change their contract to pay for the hours they choose to work already.
Here we are, at it again. Nothing accomplished. Everyone not getting paid, except members of Congress. Wow, what leadership.
The GOP offered negotiations to temporary funding the measure while the shut-down continued, but the Democrats refused.
In her Oct. 26 op-ed, Sen. Jacky Rosen claims to be fighting for everyday Americans, but she doesn’t address the root causes of why the Democrats refuse to vote to reopen the government.
Legal hurdles are insurmountable.
