Unfortunaetly, any state in the Southwest is going to have crappy teacher pay. Farmers and ranchers do not generally have education as a big priority and thus, teacher pay is low. They don't think it's that important, so they won't fund it with their taxes. I formerly lived in Colorado where teacher pay ranks 46th out of fifty states. Arizona is 45th. Don't expect that to change.

Sure, it makes total sense to pay the same as one of those states where the cost of living is absurdly high. If those southern states suck, why do people striking not just move to California or New York? (there they can earn 2X and far from farmers and ranchers).

I was in the math teacher program and saw the difficulty of those doing student teaching to little brats that don't want to learn. The parents don't back you up. You can't be in their home to make them do their homework. Not worth it for the low pay

[@mcc.o.4835]

Whoa whoa whoa. This is flat out false premise. We've fundamentally devalued the teaching profession over the past 30 years. It goes well beyond just money. There is a much larger untold story here. American politicians aren't prioritizing and making the investment in education like other countries around the world.

[@meantayo41]

They just don't pay teachers enough to make it a competitive job selection. Because of that, not only do they need to hire teachers from abroad but they also need to keep those teachers that don't even know how to teach!!!! :(

[@reyvanbueno9298]

I understand your frustration, but calling these Filipinos that they don't know how to teach is unfair. You're so ignorant to this matter.

@OwnOwnOwnOwnOwnOwn So, clean your act so that you will not be importing foreign teachers. Most of these foreign teachers are cream of the crop. You must be thankful. You are getting good teachers not the ones that graduated on line with no or poor teaching experience. By the way, most scientists America had are from foreign counties. Originally rounded up and brought to the US after the 2nd world war.

US is lucky to have these hardworking foreign teachers!

[@jboy2621]

It's only fitting. Most of our nurses are from overseas and they are the front line in our fights against Covid-19 in America. When there is a shortage of teachers you reach out to other nations. Time is of the essence for school. Kids grow up and don't pause year to year in their education.

US SHOULD PROVIDE HOUSING AT LEAST FOR A YEAR!

[@js3217]

OK, so average teacher salary is 60k in the US, so WHY is it 42k in Arizona? Is there a lower cost for living expenses? It's the same as buying a house in two different places. The exact same house built in a large urban area vs a small rural area will probably have a price tag that differs by as much as six figures!

It's a simple Supply and Demand balance. If they're qualified and want to work...let's make it work.

[@PoisonelleMisty4311]

Oh, the classic case of the elusive, all-knowing teacher who seems to have a knack for evading important inquiries from curious students. It's almost as if they have a secret instruction manual that says, "Thou shall respond with utter disbelief and disregard when faced with intelligent queries." How cunning! It's truly remarkable how teachers manage to transform moments of genuine curiosity into opportunities for self-righteousness. One marvels at their ability to turn a simple question into an elaborate dance routine of dodging responsibility and undermining our oh-so-fragile sense of involvement. Alas, as we strive for knowledge and seek enlightenment in the classroom, we must also learn to navigate this dance floor of academic avoidance. Will our questions ever be acknowledged? We can only hope that one day our teachers will grant us the gift of interaction without reprimand - until then, dear pupil, embrace your inquisitive nature and continue seeking answers beyond the walls of your classroom.

This covid 19 pandemic teaches me upgraded me to another level to become a much better person... I am a Lic. Elec'l Eng'r, works as a supervisor and a driver operator in a fire department, when the pandemic appears on our shore, we have been assign to decontaminate and supply water to our co-frontliners in our city boundary, at first we have fear and paranoid of that deadly decease and informed my commanding officer how come we provide our own pocket for our proper PPE at the start? Yes he explained to me and said "well do you see the barangays health workers wearing a high end PPE as frontliners in the boundary? NO..."..but then sooner it got worst, we were not allowed to bring the fire truck as a mode of transportation since there will be another agency that will supply water (i felt like a soldier without bringing a gun), , then i asked again to my commander and he replied " do you see teachers providing by the government for transportation in going to work? Even travelling as far as canoeing?" Sometimes they got abducted by abu sayyaf or kidnap? Thats how far as you can get how teachers here in the Philippines sacrifices a LOT... Even paying their own lives to teach filipino kids in a remote areas... I understood immediately of what my boss says, since my mother is a teacher herself and her mode of promotions back in the days was to teach first to a remote areas to rural areas to urbanize city.. I just hope foreign countries will not abuse those great Filipino teachers qualities...

[@AllenDumas]

2:12 she said it herself. The problem is funding. She see all these outsourced professionals filling in spots causing delays on increase of funding when the funding isn’t there from the get go. Let’s say these outsourced teachers are not even an option to fill in the lack of teachers in the US. The American teachers aren’t just going to comeback teach just like that with just minor increase of salary. A lot of American teachers not only complain and change careers because of funding. They are choosing not to teach because they see no potential growth in their career in that field, risking their lives with all the security and gun issues that are constantly happening in schools and the fact that they have little to no support from the government to teach (I see teachers here in US having go fund me page to get some school materials). The problem here is the lack of passion and tolerance/adaptability to difficult situations, underfunding of education in the US, and the lack of respect to the teachers and educations by the students, parents, and govt. The problem aren’t these outsourced teachers. The problem is the system/culture that we have in the education sector.

It's OK for filipino teachers going abroad because they can earned many times compare there home country. So that they can have a better future for there life. Although there is public teacher shortage in Philippines. I think it is more important to deploy all filipino teachers going abroad. So that it can be alarming soon for the government. If there is alarming for teachers shortage. The government implement there salary became higher.

Poor public school teachers. Starvation wages, etc. This is an old saw not accepted by many today. Teachers will leave public schools and take lower salaries in Charter Schools. Strangely enough some very capable people are coming here to work. More than a few of them are going to become citizens and be glad to get the pay. A great many people have chosen like me to leave the public school system. My daughter is a college graduate with a PHD. She had never been in a public high school.

It's very upsetting that the superintendent chose to hire overseas, before even considering increasing existing salaries. Teachers deserve to be well compensated for their time, whether they are overseas or not.
