There should be no pay increases until drag shows and CRT are abolished.

Max DeYoung

Adam, your way applies to both sides of the argument.

Vernon Taylor

Couldn't agree more.

Adam

Keeping them safe and telling them that your way is best are different things. Only teaches them to keep blinders on to the world around them.

Max DeYoung

Thank you Will, but at least I care about the health and safety of the children.

Will

Incredibly small minded of you.

This state just put a temporary band-aid on teacher pay that only affects first year teachers. There is no cola raise or state- wide permanent raise for all educators. Missouri is still in the bottom 10 states in the US for pay and nothing permanent is being done.

I had no idea MO was in the bottom for teacher pay. I do know they are in the bottom for socialworkers and community based support workers.

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 .

Adam

Shame on anyone that voted no.

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?

Max DeYoung

Not until teacher unions and CRT are gone.
