704 this will spiral into politics so I'm going to leave that alone but if ball is played this year its going to be very interesting with what is going on in the country.
If the police are defunded the chaos we see will be unbelievable! Crime is already bad in places, Salisbury for example is in the top 10 per capita the nation now. If we continue down this road sports will be an afterthought. I have heard of schools wanting to cut ties with the police who will do security at the games? We are heading for a future that was unthinkable 6 months ago!
I dont think we should defund the police but we do need to shift some of the spending primarily towards education than the already militarized police that America employs throughout the country. Out school system sux in America let's b honest. Increase teachers salaries along with better curriculum and a mandatory 2and language should b learned from pre k. I know this is a football site but with so many of our top athletes going private maybe increasing funds in schools may lure them back to public schools.
You will see more and more leaving public education, people are tired of the lack of education kids are getting! You want to pay teachers more, in NC the average teacher salary is $53,975, the average salary for a cop is $55,000, so for $1,025 dollars more a year a cop goes to work every day not knowing if he will go home to his family at the end of his shift! We have thrown millions upon millions at education with no improvement, I keep hearing pay the teachers more so we can keep them maybe if we paid the cops more to risk their lives we would get a better grade of people and have less instances like we just had.
The average teacher does not make the top of the teacher pay scale is 52,500 so how can they average more than that>>And your attitude toward public education is the problem. And I am all for paying cops more but with this lower taxes narrative what do you expect. You lose services that way. Teachers Pay Page 2 . https://files.nc.gov/dpi/documents/fbs/finance/salary/schedules/2019-20schedules.pdf
, the Department of Public Instruction projects that the average teacher salary in North Carolina will be nearly $54,000—a more than $2,000 increase over last year.
Hmmm A pay scale was produced with the steps and pay, then a comment was made with no proof. Wonder which one is more credible. My teachers pay is not 52K and I have 22 years in so nice try
This same guy came on and said the same stuff on Carolina Preps awhile back(maybe a couple years ago) and produced incorrect numbers on teacher pay. So nothing new here.
I guess the part where it said Department of Public Instruction went over your head no surprise!
Maybe you should scroll over to the right on page 2, where is is over $58,000 dollars, and then scroll to page 3 where for a master's degree it is over $63,000 dollars! You see to get the average for a teacher you have to include the highest education and salary not just the level you are on, also the national certification bumps up the salary! If you want a place to find money look at these superintendents that are making between $100,000 and $200,00]!
Ok so teachers salary is stated. Top of the chart is 52K principals are not teachers if you are going to include those salaries you should include custodians and TA's. But I am sure they are not included. Also NC does not pay for advanced degrees anymore. Again you have no clue so we can agree on cops making more money and thats about it.
I am just going off of the chart you shared, page 3 the bottom salary on the right side of the chart $63,440! Go read it!
Yes the non-teacher is right! Because he mis-read a chart. HA!!
True to a degree only three counties have a county supplement that is close to 20% Wake, Meck, Orange Chapel Hill. But that has nothing to do with state pay scale that is a county supplement to allow yteachers a chance to live in expensive areas and many counties have supplements that are zero or less than 10%.
True as stated. But, for instance the city school system in Thomasville has a supplement provided by a local city supplemental tax. In this case, cost of living is much lower than the counties you mention. The supplement is to help compete with those counties for good teachers.
hmmm ok first paragraph. States who pay teachers better seem to have better test scores and kids going to colleges and graduation rates are higher. The reason being I feel is that education is more valued in these states . If you pay more you can have a wider net of who you can attract. Starting someone at 35K and after 30 years paying them 52K is not a good way of attracting the best and brightest, kind of like how SC poaches NC coaches by paying them more. In fact you get a brain drain of talent due to continued low pay and as a math teacher for 22 years you are lucky you can find someone to put in the classroom in many subjects due to low pay.
Well as far as I can tell we are not in school. I am not posting on school time. I am not being paid by the district during the summer, And I do not think anything I posted on this site was ultra political. I have not said anything negative about any party or politician. So I see that i am held to a higher standard than the rest of the world all at rock bottom prices.
Teachers are free to believe what they want to believe outside of their job. They do, however, have to be neutral in their profession. This usually isn’t hard to navigate in the classroom, but Social Studies teachers may run into a harder time doing this, I know I have in the past. Even though this is true, you can’t be protected from the consequences of said beliefs. I’m not a fan of school districts imposing fear on educators to not have their own mind and opinions. There are a lot of those, especially in the south. Lack of unions create these environments.
I have been in North Carolina since 98. I have taught in Gaston, Catawba, Forsyth, Guilford, Randolph and Wake Counties and never have ever heard of a teacher trying to influence students to their beliefs. Now could it have happened sure but I never have heard or seen that happen. Now teachers should be afforded the luxury that everyone else has. If they want to post something on their own time let them.
This is subposting me because I make my views known on my twitter. There is a huge difference between making your views known on Twitter and in the classroom.
