Layoff administrators before teachers.
Nah teachers act like they’re in vulnerable positions, and treat students like crap. I don’t care about these teachers losing their jobs
and let the inmates control the system ?
wont change anything. The literacy rate is still tanking, now people want to pretend that they care about education
Teachers spend 1/3 of their class time on SJW topics and pushing socialism ideas.
Correct me if I’m wrong, different unions. Administrators are protected from striking or being laid off of course they are they make the rules.
Why lay off teachers and not start with jobs within the school district offices? Those positions get paid more than teachers.
Administrative positions have a tendency to cover for themselves whilst leaving their subordinates vulnerable. "Better for them to lose their jobs than us..."
I were thinking the same thing.
Superintendent salary is Crazy
Not only do they get paid more...many of their MID-LEVEL jobs are TOTALLY UNNECESSARY.
My sister is a grade school teacher, and my sister is a horrible person. I feel sorry for the kids who come in contact with her. But, she managed to retire after 30 years. So had no business being around kids. This is what happens when you don't pay enough....you get some bad apples, clinging on.
Edit: I just wanted to burst the bubble on the altruistic, noble status of teachers.
With all these teacher layoffs there is zero need for raising property taxes.
Too bad
Excellent point!
@@MattyIcecubes we dont need property taxes for schools
Um no with all this money printing there should be zero need to pay taxes
Most states are in debt and due for an increase in taxes. Poor decisions on pension plans are a big reason but the reality is, they need more funding and we need to do our part and pay the tax.
And yet the superintendents and other high level school administrators are still raking in their large 6 figure salaries.
That’s a dumb argument. The highest paid superintendent in Texas makes $536,775 in a district with 7,697 teachers. If you were to take every dollar the superintendent’s salary and divide it up among all of the teachers, that’s less than $70 per teacher for an entire year.
Superintendent’s salary is not causing a teacher pay issue.
@@traviselrod7803We could be saving half a million for a better one then. He looked well fed and feels so bad about letting even the custodian go! 😂 Give me a break. I would of started with the principals then. You could budget $500,000 by getting rid of those. That way the superintendent can still see his ex wife on the weekends and eat lobster and the school can pay teachers so they can buy their own school supplies! How swell would that be?
@traviselrod7803 you are talking about 1 school district out of tens of thousands around the country. What about the school districts that have only 300 total employees, but the superintendents still make upwards of $250,000. And not to mention all the other higher-ups making bank, to basically do nothing.
@@UPFD91 he stands behind "that's a dumb argument."
@@UPFD91 Firstly, I would like to see where that is happening.
But more importantly, let’s take your scenario as fact. Even in your scenario of a superintendent making $250,000 in a district with 300 teachers, if you took every dollar of that money and gave it to the teachers, that is around $833 per year for each teacher, which works out to $70 a month. Does $70 a month solve the teacher pay issue?
All we have heard in the last few years is about a shortage of teachers. WTF?
Only the colonialist, Kabbalah, kippah, khazar, Michael Rapaport can cadaver: meaning dead body, threaten Joe Biden and get away with it, and nobody says nothing...
That's just an excuse so that districts can employ non-qualified teachers at fire-sale prices. If they claim a shortage they can hire scrubs for minimum wage and save millions for their office furniture and district admin parties.
Yep, this makes no sense
@mnn1265 wow, you are most likely correct
@@mnn1265no, it’s a deliberate attempt to dismantle public education. Just a continuation of the past 40 years. Especially, the past few years. The holy grail is to have everyone homeschooled, with no interaction with their peers of different backgrounds. It’s a good method for enduring the next generation is hyper-conservative, lacks empathy, and easy to demag…
Why don't layoff politicians.
I agree
Because politicians don't care about teachers. LOL
Election
I thought there was a massive teacher shortage?? How it possible that they are able to mass layoff when you can't find people to do the job to begin with??
first of all, don't believe propaganda.
@@davidanalyst671 LOL! First of all I know you're a Troll and Second of all stop trolling . But okay I'll play.There is a MASSIVE Teacher shortage which is why the Red States will let almost anyone Teach without a Credential or proper Training . From a Teacher Now go find an actual life You're welcome !! poor baby
@@davidanalyst671 everything is propaganda to fucking weirdos I guess
There isn't a shortage of teachers. There's a shortage of students enrolling. Birth decline mean less kids in school. Less kids means less funding. Less funding means less teachers/staff required.
Yeah right. The trucking industry claims to have a driver shortage as well. BS
it is a real shame that educating our children is not a priority for the US
Only the colonialist, Kabbalah, kippah, khazar, Michael Rapaport can cadaver: meaning dead body, threaten Joe Biden and get away with it, and nobody says nothing...
The real shame is that it's not a priority to parents. Parents aren't involved, and rely on the school system to teach Their children the Basic tasks of How To Be A Responsible, Decent Human Being.
It is a set up for a dystopian future. Only the elites and their children will have what they need
@@truthseeker6370A lot of them can't be. In this economy, working 2 to even 3 jobs can become a norm. Homeschooling just wouldn't be possible. N not too mention the single parent households with widows or where one parent is in the service.
The shame is their failure to educate and chose to indoctrinate. Home school or get a voucher for private schools who won’t pump sexually charged materials to your kids.
Our government costs too much and delivers too little.
But people keep voting Democrat regardless. Not saying Republicans are any better at this point in time. They've become one behind the scenes. It's all smoke and mirrors.
Don't vote for a party anymore- vote for a True and Just person who is actually looking out for your and our Nation's best interests.
They give all to other countries and illegal migrants
Meanwhile you dont want charter schools
Keep voting Republican and let the rich get all the tax breaks while we (middle class and poor) are overburdened with taxation, clown.
@@chiquita683where did anyone say that in that comment. It says “Our government costs too much and delivers too little.” Nowhere is the word “charter school” written.
Imagine that…..all that schooling to be a teacher, still paying off student loans from it just to get laid off. How depressing.
Those people only went into the education system for the lifetime pension anyway
Get a better degree. Teachers are a drain. They just want more money for being glorified babysitters to "work" 180 days a year and get a pension. Those days are over.
@@gregorylyon1004 I guess it wasn’t a lifetime after all 😆
What a joke. Cutting education is insanity
They are not cutting education, the decent people removed their children. There's no work for them. Democrats adgenda,s
Meanwhile student test scores are abysmal
Cutting lifetime pensions teachers get. LOL
you're paying glorified babysitters to "work" 180 days a year and get a pension. The districts can't raise taxes anymore. They need to balance what they have.
Not really. They haven’t been learning anything but to be good little slaves in the coming New World Order.
The American school system is a joke
Yes the test scores are bad they should lay off all of them and restart
Especially when they ban books!
@@cathyruiz73 Who is banning books?
Republicans
@@cathyruiz73 Do you mean the cornographic Books ?
Budget cuts. That didn't come up when the government was sending money to Ukraine or Israel or the millions of migrants
100%
Foreign aids = federal money. Teachers' salary = state money. Don't lump them together.
Different budget sweetheart.
@@shakeyj4523 This is absolutely federal money, not state, its from the Pandemic relief fund. Seems like a good idea to continue, but that money is now going to Israel/Ukraine.
Every country even 1s that still has slavery
We have billions of dollars to give to Ukraine but we can't pay our teachers. This is ridiculous 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Blame the states
Fact. Maybe the Teachers should stop supporting Democrats.
Some bull💩 The government needto be removed replaced. They are not forthe American people
Hey Vlad!
It's the system bro everything happens for a reason Revelation have to unfold
Layoffs? Weren't they scrambling for teachers only just a year ago? This seems like a load of BS to me.
All the COVID money is ending in June. Now you know why all the layoffs
Teachers are liars. They claimed there was a teacher shortage and overworked, while also claiming fewer students were enrolled. They just want more money for being glorified babysitters to "work" 180 days a year and get a pension. Those days are over. The smart kids will do just fine.
That’s why you don’t expand permanent programs with temporary dollars
Money is not the problem. Washington DC's Department of Education is the problem. Too much of these woke agendas getting shoved down our kids throats and not asking us if it's okay. You are not going to teach my child CRT and tell them they are racist from birth because they are white. Go woke, go broke.....we the people have had enough!
COVID money ends this June. LOL
People in education aren't exactly the best minds.
Anyone who says America is the greatest country in the world is delusional. Greatness starts with preparation, education, and dedication. The US educational system is a pathetic disappointment year after year.
Exactly
Free public schools - students are the Product(workers)
Edited for stupidity 🤣☝️☝️
Bet you're woke.
That’s just your opinion, dumbo.
You could pay millions towards military and space vehicles, but can’t pay teachers!?
because 1 is actually useful while the other just spewing DEI BS.
Well. Most of teacher $$ comes from the states. Not like we didn’t see this coming… with the date for expiration of the funds written into the federal bill that provided them.
Try billions approaching a trillion. The cost of saving America failing from the inside is a FRACTION of what the government spends on other countries and the military. You could solve the problems in America with 5% of the military budget. They don't want to. It's by design.
@@Baebon6259 You obviously didn't graduate.
Oh teachers are paid, it's just that admin is paid more. Therein lies the problem.
Only the poor shall suffer. The laborer is the fuel, not the driver. This is America
Welcome to the company full of human commodities called a country for some reason
Yes the poor will suffer and the poor is ending up being 99% of America. Lol
Wrong. This is the United States of Venezuela/Palestine now. Between the gang members from that country and pro-Palestinian "protesters" (AKA rioters), this country is in shambles. America is lost. Just like our fearless leader Brandon. But hey, at least he's having a good time attending celebrity galas pretending that there's nothing wrong at all. Must be fun having dementia.
Increase teacher pay and fire these administrators.
Excellent how much can you contribute.. donate a few hundred yourself to them.. prove you ain't a phonie
Why. With all the money the feds gave didn’t help. Kids are still coming out stupid
Teachers get lifetime pensions. Screw that
Didn't we just have billions to give overseas? Our tax dollars fund everything everywhere but America.
Only the colonialist, Kabbalah, kippah, khazar, Michael Rapaport can cadaver: meaning dead body, threaten Joe Biden and get away with it, and nobody says nothing...
Dollars to Ukraine save us a war... Trump's massive tax cuts to billionaires did nothing but starve our children. Why not stop given rich people all the breaks, why don't you think about that?
the money that was sent to Ukraine represents a tiny fraction of the American federal budget, but nice try Ivan...
@@ronevans6958 The latest bill allocated $61 billion to Ukraine. That’s not insignificant. For reference, Ukraine’s annual GDP was about $170 billion last year.
@@ronevans6958 It's always the Russians so mad about a few weapons shipments to an ally. The money for these weapons go to American weapons manufacturers and American workers benefit in the process. We need to use weapons, they don't last forever so weapons aid to other countries helps not only them but us! Not to mention that if Ukraine doesn't stop Putin then American boys and girls will have to do it... I'd much rather that not happen.
Only lay off administrators and leaders...most schools and districts are top heavy anyway.
Why not get rid of the $800,000 a year superintendent? With that one persons pay you could fund 15 teachers for the year. Every teacher I have ever met is worth every penny they make, and then some. There is no manager/superintendent/executive earning what they are being paid.
Well said and very true. All they do is campaign. Dead weight.
Going from socialism to more socialism. That’s the answer!
@@cockyhemi-123 WTF are you talking about,?
This is what happens when you put the wrong people in charge and do not know how to balance a budget or apply the funds to the wrong bills
No, this is when there is no accountability in this country
It’ll be funny to see the public pensions disappear because they were and are tied up in horrible commercial real estate holdings. This is what you get when you work in a corrupted system and trust clowns with your retirement.
we already have a huge shortage of teachers and the ones we do have are struggling, i cannot imagine why they would do this. it's going to make things a million times worse.
If there is a teacher shortage then there are about to be a bunch of teachers available to fill the vacancies. Sounds like this is just a staffing adjustment around the country, surplus to shortage.
Republicans want this. They've been trying to destroy the public school system in its entirety for years. And they might get their wish at this rate.
@@patrickmccarthy6798 LMAO, oh my sweet summer child
@@patrickmccarthy6798 Teachers don’t get paid enough to justify moving out of state. Especially not to the states with the largest shortages because when accounting for all time worked those states pay below minimum wage. That’s one of the reasons why so many of us are former teachers.
@@patrickmccarthy6798you should try talking to some teachers, or your kids if you have them…
There’s a shortage because of low pay, most schools have open position all this school year, and they’re vacant for a reason, it’s not that there’s no people to be teachers, there’s no money in the systems to offer decent pay… in my country the average school has had 3 positions available per grade level k-12 and special ed, these positions literally pay $18k for anyone with minimum experience and qualifications, and up to $22.5k if you have a masters ( minimum qualification is one year of school, but many schools suspended that policy and will hire these positions out to anyone currently enrolled to be a teacher, they’re even over “semi permanent” position to substitute teachers, in my state that requires a background check only)
18k bro… that’s not a career, you can walk in and store or restaurant and make more than that… good thing they’re not doing the most important job around
Stop giving our money overseas and fund it to the school system
Why do you want to Fund a system where they take your property if you don’t pay for the reeducation of your children. The public school agenda is not for you or your children. Especially if you are low income. The school system will teach the children to be mask wearing slaves. Why would you want your children to go there to that place that looks like a prison with no windows. And has an agenda that is anti everything you believe in.
Actually, I am Japanese
We can say a same thing to our government as well.
👍👍👍👍
@iku8221 at least y'all have high speed commuter trains from city to city, we are still trying to do that
You anti-semite.
There isn't one official in Federal or local government who knows how to balance a budget. They shouldn't have relied in temporary money in the first place
America needs a whole education system redesign
They already doing it, they are stripping public schools and pushing Charter schools.
The system disgusts me. They yell at every corner they are short of teachers, yet! They lay off hundreds. Some school districts pay for the education of aids, nurses, and cafeteria workers at school districts (for a Master's degree!), and pay teachers' salaries while they are studying, and yet! turn away wonderful young people or experienced teachers who are already educated and applying for the job!
No those are state sponsored indenturing programs. They are not free. Crazy person.
@@Facefully. I know better because I work in that school district. What do you know?
That's because "they" want to get rid of public schools
Boo hoo, find another job. Teachers are liars. They claimed there was a teacher shortage and overworked, while also claiming fewer students were enrolled. They just want more money for being glorified babysitters to "work" 180 days a year and get a pension. Those days are over. The smart kids will do just fine.
I was a teacher. I don’t want my kids in public school. Enough said.
They get paid very little and are understaffed. Yet firing teachers is somehow the solution to the teacher shortage?
they're losing the COVID funding so they have no choice but to fire teachers. plus declining enrollments means less funding. so if you want to correct the situation, we clearly need more immigration and another pandemic
Get paid very little? 60k for 9 months of work, summers off, pension and healthcare benefits for life and no risk of termination due to corrupt unions? Yeah, stop spreading misinformation like during the pandemic…everyone knows and the jig is up
Not to mention the right-wing cancel culture campaign to publicly humiliate anyone who messes up and says something dumb on a bad day
teachers do not get paid very little, and they are not understaffed. there you go.
@davidanalyst671 average teacher salary in NC at 20 years of experience is $54,263. Starting out with zero years of experience it is $43,575. Now tell me, what kind of self respecting profession would only allow an employee make barely above the national average while simultaneously requiring a degree and certification? They are grossly underpaid for what they do for future generations
Some of these districts acted like they hit the lottery giving out money during the pandemic and acted like that Revenue stream was never going to end.
They had to spend the money. Why not give it to the teachers 😂
Did you get “stimulus”? Did you participate in the fraud?
They seem to always have enough money to build new athletic facilities.
The fact that America is like 23rd in the world for education is embarrassing!! Same with our health care! All the "systems" put in place to ensure that these things run are actually taking all the money away from these things. It's a closed loop where all the money stays within the system and never makes it to the actual destination. Why can't we learn from other countries that are doing much better at this?
The american medical system is a scam. THey purposefully restrict the number of doctors in order to have them charge more. When the doctors can charge more, they donate to the policiticans who control medical education
Do those country have reach to be the number one super world power? No? Exacttly, you dont get to be the first super global power and spend on needles none important waste at the same time, is either one or the other you Cant have both!! You just cant!!
Mismanagement of funds led to this

I taught school 1986-1992 so I can sympathize certainly to this story. Losing a job is never fun and I hope these teachers get new jobs. But the blame has to be placed at the feet of these school boards and Superintendents. This money was always going to end sometime. You should never staff your schools with money that's given to you by the government. Schools have to be run by property taxes. Maybe now these schools will learn.
'Schools have to be run by property taxes.'
I think that is the core problem. The more deprived the region the less local revenue, thus less funding for public education. Communities with chronic lack of cash are less inclined to increase the funding for their own schools. The funding has to be put on a broader footing.
Layoff administrators and let principals act as administrators of their own school. No need for redundancy.
There seems to an endless supply of money to to send overseas but no money for our kids teachers. America and the government has failed us all.
Good lord you are ignorant.
Federal money/state money…not the same

One reason for declining enrollment is that the birth rate in the US is well bellow replacement rate. Especially in the K-12 schools.
No one talks about how over the past 10 to 20 years enrollment has significantly dropped but staff has not decreased, in some cases has increased staff. The enrollment in my local district has dropped more than 30 percent.

This is their first actual goddamned chance for independence from russia in 100 years, and they can't die in vain. Second of all, the money going to schools isnt being cut.

Didn’t ole Joe say there wasn’t any inflation and everything was fine and this was the best economy ever.
They need to lay off administrators. The educational system is top-heavy. Everything from grade school through college. Way too many administrators and not enough staff for face-to-face with students.
As a fellow Teacher, this is sad and how are we supposed to even pay back our student loans with less jobs. I think most public school students are going to school online… no more brick and mortar schools. Watch.
I know aand I feel bad but if the demand for teachers is not there.. then it’s not there. The birth rate has been much lower in recent years then when you and I were kids. They are threatening layoffs at my job too. I’m in manufacturing
Believe it or not your loan isn’t the states worry. They balance a budget. Ask your politicians why they chased out wage earners and the teacher why no parents want to send the children to public schools.
@@Legoman69469 Haha. You don't know what you are talking about! The classrooms are over 30 kids and they keep coming. The schools are overcrowded.

Sorry to hear but the size of the public sector has got to decrease immensely. It has grown way outside the bounds which the constitution allows. The government doesn’t have anything until it TAKES it from us first. Not sure what people dont understand about this simple concept.
Declining student enrollment? So, are our schools running at 110% capacity with all these portables or did someone do their common core math incorrectly?
There is a decline in students. California is down over 500k students in the last few years. People can't afford to have kids and the ones that can are putting their kids in private school here. Districts get funding per student and after the temporary covid grants expire, they have to adjust back to prepandamic spending + less students.
@@TA-np4mc , I gotcha. I'm from California, but live in Tennessee. Our district specifically, has no charter schools and a large increase in population from Nashville overflow. Our brand new schools are opening at 100-110% capacity.
And they wonder why teachers are walking away from the profession. These fatherless and underparented hellions terrorize the teachers, assault them, and nothing is done about. Laying off anyone who is willing to stick around in spite of all of this is a slap in the face.
People want better schools but consistently vote down mill levies aimed at bolstering local school budgets. Parents consistently don’t want federal involvement in how schools are run but want federal tax dollars while whinging about land taxes apportioned for school budgets.
You can’t have it both ways.
So far the only real argument I've seen well done❤❤❤
Yea close the schools and give the parents back their hard earned money. Public schools are funded by taking your home if you don’t pay. The ooor are the least to benefit. Think about it. Free lunches, free bus rides, they are taught to be beggars and paupers and they are told it is “equity”. And they believe it. They think Teader joes and whole foods should come to their neighbors goods so they can spend their EBT cards. The public system has an agenda few would agree with but alas parents don’t know nor ask what their children are being taught. Keep your kids home and get your money. Ask for your money back. you I’ll have plenty left over to educate your children, your property, properly and sell the way you see fit. . They are not learning anything anyway. Test scores prove it and that is the agenda… poor people suffer the most. Those in Africa get a. Better education in a grass hut with a black board and chalk and pencils and little paper. . Have you ever seen an African with bad grammar? . Never!
It doesn’t bolster anything. Research the capher accounts. They are in every school district. Absconding the funds from the ignorant homeowners. Close the schools and give the money back.
@BangPDsMom TOP COMMENT
Any data to back the way you’re saying parents are voting?
How can school districts justify this? We already have the worst educational system in the West and counties doubled the property taxes they rake in due to doubling in property values without reducing the property tax rates?
Where is the money going?
Laying off teachers opens up room for migrants to house in the school buildings.
Texas will be happy to send you migrants until you realize that you need to stop this nonsense and close the southern border.
Teacher shortage but also no funding...makes sense. 🙄
You must increase taxes on the rich, who would not even feel the impact. Teachers need 6 figures.
Rich people find loopholes to circumvent taxes while putting the burden on the poors and middle clas
no no NO ! Our children are the future and their teachers are lifelines for success ! Public schools MATTER !! State and Federal funding must be a priority in all the United States of America !! ( tax those billionaires citizens & corporations their fair share ) 🇺🇲📚📖🇺🇲
YES!!! 👍
They won’t be taxed. They are the ones taxing you. Wake up. Keep your kids home. They are learning No thing but the things you don’t want them to learn.
Aaahahahahahahhahahaaaaa!!!!!! Commented on like a true Marxist.
The pandemic federal aid was never meant to be permanent. It’s ridiculous that districts and communities are acting surprised or indignant
To be honest with mostly declining birth rates for the past 15 years its unrealistic to expect the same need for teachers as before.
Wait a minute…so where’s all this unclaimed lottery money going?? It’s supposed to benefit schools no?? 🤔
Excellent inquiry campos3452 most excellent indeed.
Same thing with all the money from recreational drug sales.
The lottery is just an extra tax on the poor. They let someone win occasionally to keep everyone playing.
The lottery is the same as mothers day, valentines , christmas , black friday ect. Just to pump money into uncle sam's pocket.
Aaahahahahahahhahahaaaaa!!!!!!!
The best policy is to keep the student/teacher ratio as low as possible, but when enrollment drops, a school district doesn't have much wiggle room. The Covid funds were temporary.

This is the beginning it starts here, then the layoffs are gonna spread to other industries and then the whole economy will collapse.
When I taught 4th grade in Los Angeles 100% of my students could read at or abive 4th grade.
Readjng, writing and arithmetic need to go back to being the priorities of elementary schools
This is crazy first you have a shortage now layoffs . The budget is off not due to bad spending decisions now are costing educators. Admin needs to take cuts . And how are we short when we sent money to Ukraine, Taiwan and Israel .
Maybe we short Becuse we have sent THE money to ukraine and isreal 💀
How about we layoffs some congress people and some supreme court judge and leave the teacher alone.
Start with the ones that can't identify a woman
Declining student enrollment has been going on because the quality of the public service is shitty. Fix the quality of the teachers and maybe people will trust in public schools again
The entire US educational system needs a revamp.
I work as a support staff in my local district and administration make 3-4 times what your average teacher makes yet they all sit at those desks for 20 years sending emails.
The teachers in the classrooms need better support, pay, and resources.
We were all just told to conserve TISSUES because the district will not be providing teachers with them any longer.
More tax breaks for billionaires!
I wonder if declining enrollment is due to parents home schooling their kids? And if so, maybe the union can figure out why that is happening and fix it. I know they know the reason, but will never admit it.
I noticed a change at my college. They reduced the work hours. I believe that some staff members are in admissions.
However, it seems like they increased security.I don't understand the purpose of that.
95 billion for foreign wars, but no money for American schools. Think about that
what in the mother of jesus christ are you talking about? USA schools get 15k per student. You are just keeping the propaganda of the teachers unions alive.
This needs to be done because we need more tax breaks for billionaires. They can’t afford their tenth house if they don’t get that tax break.
I’m sure in most districts people are glad to go. These same districts will be begging for teachers again. If I had a college-aged child thinking about teaching, I would do my best to dissuade them from doing it. The priorities in these Where I’m from in NJ, you have some teachers making 100K to teach at schools in the hood or with poor test results. Ineffective teachers who teach for 30 years are retiring with 6 figure pensions! Yet the schools are in disarray or ran down. I’m sorry, no teacher should be making 6 figures. Principals and administrators making 200-300K. Get rid of them first before teachers. While I think teacher pay needs to be higher in other states, NJ and other states are paying these people too much in my opinion.
Layoff administration not teacher
End the Dept of Education.
Have a forensic audit of all government funds and the lottery money that was obviously mismanaged.
Really we need are teacher can pay McDonald’s workers 15-20 hr but gonna lay off teachers we need ? They don’t receive enough as it is. 😮
McDonald's is laying off and automation...
that is a lie, they have as many teachers as they need. American students are dumber than europeans and we pay 2x as much as europe does, and we get worse results. Just like American medical care.
Just think how good child education would be if children a powerful union representing them, like the teachers do.
Ummmmm...... unions got us here
Reform public employees pensions
Parents are abandoning public education. Such great news.
Can’t pay the teacher but sending billions overseas, yeah it makes sense
Biden's America
I dont get it --- I thought they were just talking about a nation-wide teacher shortage. A year later, and now its teacher layoffs coast to coast..
Feels like the twilight zone. Can someone tell me what is going on
Bloated administration and school board salaries remain untouched.
Who cares just homeschool your kids
Exactly
After seeing how teachers and teacher unions acted during the pandemic they brought this on themselves. Home school your children and get the government out of teaching your children.
I would like the government to give me back the taxes they took for school then I can use that money to spend on the school with better quality
People just yell and screech as if it will change anything. It’s basic math folks, there’s no money left lol
why would anyone work as a teacher in this society.
Social workers anyway... poor teachers are abundant throughout the United States.
Not in Oregon. The government started pushing the vaccines and lost a LOT of talented teachers because they quit.
I wonder if the education budget was decreased due to the migrant budget that continues to increase in California
Yes! Thank you for saying something. The migrant program was actually started for migrant workers and their children. Today, illegals are brought in under the migration education policy, suck the money out of the program and other areas. Migrant programs were developed to help a very small group with education, food, community out reach and in some cases housing. With illegals coming into the school system under the act in mass numbers school districts are drowning. This has been going on for years and nobody is talking about it. I have seen this firsthand. An illegal student enters the school and receives one-on-one instruction from multiple teaching staff, SPED programs, and counselors. While the children who need one one-on-one instruction are pushed to the side due to not enough staff. Districts are letting this happen ofcouse because they receive extra funding for every illegal student they take in.
So this is how you solve a teacher shortage 😲😲😉🤔🤔😔😔😑😑?!?! This is stupid, WTH IS GOING ON IN THIS COUNTRY?!?!
Kids aren't learning anything!
Immigrants need more money. They got 66 billion. Lay off more teachers, so government can give more money away...
Ironic, considering this is directly a result of policies these teachers all voted for. They got what they voted for.
Running on the lie that all teachers are democrats? I used to be a teacher in a red state and was the only liberal teacher everywhere I went. It was easy to tell because the others couldn’t stop bringing up Jesus or pushing local Republican candidates. This is a national problem hitting red areas as hard as blue ones. Not surprisingly only one side is educated enough to realize it.
ABOUT TIME THE GOV SAVED SOME MONEY INSTEAD OF SPENDING IT 😡
Soooo....school administrators nationwide don't have the math skills to keep their budget balanced long-term? Last year was a teacher shortage and this year it's a money shortage? Why are these failures in charge of teaching children?
Huge mistake. Lay off teachers they’ll never come back when you need them. Find funding.
Don't let the door hit them in the axx on the way out, get and reset the system with private schools, Public system is a disgrace to humans
@@stratocasterblueAll your conservative friends who are parents are going to have to stay home from work to watch their own kids. 😂
@@user-qv8kz6bs3k yes, bc conservatives actually work while libtards find every excuse not to work and leech off the government…nice arguement
Q
True.
Teachers leave
Ain't coming back for BULSHIT
Trust....😂 if they can teach...they're smart enough and savy enough to earn the same or MORE, elsewhere!
If the funding runs out in September and pay comes 😂 back down....your teacher is 😂 ❤ flipping burgers 🍔 at McDonald's and asks if you want fries 🍟 with that order.
Q
@@hrhtreeoflife4815 If they get laid off they can all just go on unemployment and from there they will have plenty of time to find jobs. If they are making 60k as teachers unemployment will be nice big fat FREE paychecks.
Instead OF SPENDING OUR TAX MONEY ON WARS WHY NOT RAISE MINIMUM WAGE AND INVEST IN THE CITIZENS INSTEAD OF WARS???
Higher wages equal less job
@@bigtobacco1098no it doesn't
@@handsfortoothpicks California begs to differ
Simple, wish one earns the state more capita and moneys? answer it then, go on i wait a sec
@@bigtobacco1098 capitalists control jobs. Workers that call for higher wages can't control that
If teachers needed temporary funding through the pandemic just to survive, there is something seriously wrong.
They got paid for a year and more for not teaching. The students were given a lesson in Union tactics, but sadly most of them missed the point
You can bet no administrator's pay will be touched. We need highly paid do-nothings to tell us how bad it is.
Maybe if the kids didn't say "It ain't" and "I seen" and could check their own car oil they'd still have a job.
