Report shows that North Carolina teachers have some of the lowest salaries in the country

A new report by the National Education Association shows teachers in Carolinas have some of the lowest starting salaries in the country.
According to the teacher’s advocacy organization, North Carolina ranks 46th in the country for starting pay and South Carolina ranks 40th.
It comes as there are once again discussions happening right now in the state houses about what kind of pay raises teachers can expect next year.
The North Carolina House wants to give teachers an average 10.2% raise over the next two years. However, Gov. Roy Cooper has proposed an 18% raise. The state senate’s proposal has yet to be released.

We need to take care of migrants and the homeless before we take care of teachers. If teachers have it so bad, why do so many of them take vacations abroad and travel extensively during summer break?

[@azaleathedog]

teachers are integral to taking care of migrants and homeless

teachers are shaping the future. Just think if every teacher in America quit. Place would be crazy, and parents wont have a "babysitting" service

I’m a teacher. I work during the summer. Can’t afford to take vacations.
