I hope all sports go forward. Someone explain how HS sports can go forward but remote learning is the way things are headed. I guess teacher union not concerned with sports. And college kids can go back to dorms but college sport seasons are cancelled. The contradictions are absurd and frankly hard to even follow.
Pay a teacher what a tenured doctor or nurse or attending get and maybe a different tune
The teachers that you know who make six figures didnt become teachers last year or within the last 5 years? Guessing they been in the teacher game for decade and a half plus
Totally agree....for what they get paid they shouldn’t be subjected to be put at the same level. My mother was an educator and she often worked many hours a week from home with no extra pay.
Also a teacher that is making 6 salaries is rare and has been in education over 30 years minimum I would guess and it goes by district (Newark at one point paid teachers the highest salary due to the conditions you would expose yourself to as an educator- teachers called it battle pay).
Also, teachers get paid extra stipends for working over their scheduled hours. If you added that into their regular pay then I can see that there would be many more teachers that make 6 salaries ( but this means extra hours above their scheduled work day). Lol

Also the teachers that make 6 figures that have additional education. I know some that have a masters plus an additional 30 credits. They invested big dollars to improve as an educator. That plus over 30 years will get you to the higher dollar numbers.
Yes and mostly done at night school while still in season through multiple years
Just. Stop.
FWIW if your district is going full remote, you shouldn't have football, either. Absolutely ridiculous, but Murphy opened the door for it. He has his foot on the neck of restaranteurs, but kow-tows to the NJEA and NJSIAA.
Don't forget gym owners. It's now a personal vendetta against all of them after a single one dared to challenge him.
I am close to 40, i went to public school in Ocean County. For the most part 95% percent of my teachers were empathetic and outstanding instructors. I realize the state criteria has changed from then to know. However, I had a few teachers that would work in the mall in season on weekends that were more than 10 years in. I had teachers that took a full time summer job for 10 weeks and also worked part time elsewhere.
So if they are so important and vital to a community why is there a compensation lapse? Do I think a teacher should get pay of a top vascular surgeon, no. However, if I am in my 50s and been full time for 25 years or so, I def have trust issues with what I may be contacting at place of work.
Bravo to the nurses and doctors working thru this.
They cannot do much of their job remotely. Teachers can. I feel awful for all students effected this. But you can get a masters degree via distance learning. You cannot have much of what needs to be done medically via remote access. If possible, docs do a remote app. My wife and I both have had md apps over the phone.
So, the comparison is not really that solid.
I do my job from home, cause I can. Our field engineers are still in the field. 2 have even died of covid.

you mean the guy who was in jail for murder? he’s a realllll patriot, just ask the family of the person he killed.
Also, all about forgiveness but maybe I wouldn’t become a social justice warrior after something like that....

This is not accurate. Teachers are very well paid now. In a town like Princeton or Chatham, six figures is the norm for experienced educators. My impression is that nurses, on the other hand, are underpaid.
The virus spreads indoors especially in rooms with a lot of people and poor ventilation.
On the other hand, a football field is not really that much of a risk.
While i bet older buildings pass code, i would venture their ventilation efficency is not great. Also, I cant imagine any trailer that hosts classes is all that great.
What does that have to do with the current situation? Nothing. The man was convicted, served his time and knows it was wrong.
This is an attempt to distract from the issue at hand.
Yes. That is what they are doing in my district.
HVAC was not sufficient to open. They are delaying opening in person until they upgrade the system.
This is an interesting point you bring up. Unrelated to the current topic at hand, but I find it interesting that you say that we should not continue to bring up someone's past after they were convicted and served their time. I 100% agree with you. However it seems that this does not apply when an unarmed minority is harmed or murdered by the police. The first thing that always happens is the media dives into their criminal record as if the person's past determines whether they should have been killed or not. As you say it is an attempt to distract from the current issue at hand. Food for thought.
Teachers are not receiving the same PPE that healthcare workers receive. Healthcare workers wear an N95 mask(not just a regular mask because that only protects people from you not the other way around) as well as face shields and gloves. Unless every school is going to provide all of that for teachers every single day they will be put at risk. This is not just a matter of sucking it up. This could be for some a matter of life and death for them as well as their families.
There is absolutely no need to provide teachers with the same level of protection as healthcare workers. That is fear mongering.
Absolutely. Many in the media are only interested in clicks and ratings, not in the substance of the story or getting the facts. Everything they do is to shape a a narrative and/or distract.
I certainly hope that the teachers who have applied for leave, causing a shortage of educators in districts that plan on opening are NOT getting paid leave.
