The teachers in my area are upset and rightfully so. Not paid very well. Our schools receive a crap amount of money to actually run the school. Materials usually come out of their pocket or through donations by parents. And most who like to work during the summer to supplement income can't anymore... which means kids that need the extra help don't get that either.
Teachers are always getting blasted for their pay, etc. I say most of them do not get paid enough. One big change that needs to happen is tenure. Unfortunately it protects teachers that should retire, etc.
