I have three teachers in my family and they work so hard for so little. YES, they need and deserve to be paid more.

Gerald Turnage

Under Missouri law teachers are required to get a Master degree. The education that is required has to pay more. These people teach our children. I do not agree with some of what is taught or allowing kids to get away with their actions and I do not agree with the unions and am against them .

I don't put much stock in Teachers anymore after raising my kids. It's changed so much since I went to school that I couldn't help with their home work. Then the Teacher tells me that my kids will fail due to my lack of knowledge, thought that was why she was getting paid?

Not until teacher unions and CRT are gone.

The Constitution vests the power in the legislative branch to ensure decisions on war are made democratically, rather than by a single person.

It would take congress years to make a decision, and the amount of pork required would be phenomenal. Congress is dysfunctional.

Most congressmen are millionaires, but our nation is nearly $40 Trillion in debt.

Congress can't even pass a budget to fund the government.

Just maybe, some of the students could learn how to read, write, and learn a little bit about math. Their texting skills are already, just fine.

The fact that legislators would use this for political gain and schools would use this as a financial game (teaching to the tests so they get an A rating, which gives them more money, wash-rinse-repeat). is a no from me. Didn't they learn something from the failure of the No Child Left Behind?
