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.

I am so sick of Bidenomics, inflation at the grocery store, gas prices being 20% higher today than historically for this time of year, the open border, wars that should have been avoided, liberal prosecutors not prosecuting criminals, massive increase in homelessness, etc. Rather have mean tweets.

It's still early in the season, with most of the fall and all of the winter still ahead to catch illnesses.
