Please, for those asking me to leave if I don't like it, I suggest we fix this problem by cutting our legislators salaries until it's fixed.

check out the payroll taxes .. Florida v NY .. you will find the issue.. I pay less taxes here and make the same $$$ I did in Ohio after all the payroll taxes

Teachers have to prepare the youngsters for the upcoming life as an adult. I still think the teachers are one of the most influential persons in their whole life.

Nobody says it is not an important job but so are Nurses, Firefighters, Police, EMTs and often they are not paid well either. Even people in private industries do jobs that are very important to everyone's livelyhood and work long hours for not enough pay. The only difference is they don't cry as much as teachers.

Do you have any basis basis for your comments. Most teachers are hard workers and really care about their students. For you to make comments like that are an insult to our teachers..

Here's a word for you to learn "ultracrepidarian" - definition - "expressing opinions on matters outside their scope of one's knowledge or expertise"

Here's a another word "Woke" - definition "aware and actively attentive to important facts and issues" I sure hope our teachers are "woke". It's a shame more of our population isn't!

I just checked how much NY and Florida legislators make.
NY pays $110,000 and Florida pays $29,697.

And you want to cut their pay???

That is a disgusting slur to thousands of caring, hardworking teachers.

Change "most" to "some" and I'd tend to agree...

Comparing employees to owners is a fools errand...

Everyone should be a substitute teacher for a day. You will end the day with a massive headache.

I subbed for two months through an agency. Being a sub is not even close to the same as being a teacher. As a sub, you generally expect the kids to be on their WORST behavior, because they know you're not authorized to do anything about it. A substitute is generally considered a babysitter who - if they're lucky, get an actual lesson plan for the day or week, which the kids won't follow anyway.

"Baltimore schools CEO made over $1M in five years, but her students still can’t read or do basic math
by Christopher Tremoglie, Commentary Writer
April 18, 2022 05:35 PM

Last year, 41% of all Baltimore public high school students earned a GPA below 1.0. That's one of many systemic school failures in Charm City. Despite this, Santelises received a salary hike to $375,688. She is one of the highest-paid school leaders in the country.

As Santelises’s students repeatedly fail to meet even the most basic scholastic requirements, her salary keeps going up. What other profession rewards people so for failure?

Santelises has the highest salary ever for a Maryland superintendent. During her five years in charge, her salary went from $298,000 in 2016 to the most recent figure mentioned above. That’s a startling 26% increase in salary.

In that light, consider a 2021 report by Project Baltimore, which revealed that a high school student in Baltimore City passed only three classes in four years. This student ranked in the top half of the high school's class with a 0.13 GPA. How is this student prepared to be a valuable member of society? How is he or she ready to live in the real world? Such stories are all too familiar for Baltimore residents."

I personally don’t know how you can compare the salary to NY’s salaries! I do believe cost of living is much lower than NY. Also I heard the teachers are getting a raise.

Point was missed, our teachers salaries are pathetic, I value our kids education more.

Several posts have pointed out that when adjusted for the cost of living between New York and Florida, Florida pay is comparable or even higher than New York.

What do you suggest teachers should be paid in Florida?

Your OP said 49000.00 which is a perfectly acceptable wage for 10 months of work

That wasn't the question. The question was "what do you suggest teachers should be paid in Florida."

And the original post said said that the teacher salary in Florida was $49,000. Where did $29,000 come from?

But the answer to your question is a lot of people.

And according to the following website, the median individual income in Wildwood is about $25,000 and median individual income in The Villages is about $34,000. Median household income in Wildwood is about $40,000 and median household income in The Villages is about $65,000.

So it looks like the teachers are doing ok.
