As a retired teacher, the problems are as diverse as the individual schools and systems. I was fortunate to be in a good public school. The problem of salary is a real issue, but it is only one. When I was in school,if you got in trouble at school,you got it worse when your parents learned of the situation. The real problem is parental apathy and breakdown of parenting. Evening meals are nonexistent. The lack of discipline is widespread due to school systems practicing defective teaching. Teachers do what is required to prevent lawsuits. The students know that the school system will not properly discipline in fear of lawsuits. The problem will continue to worsen unless parents decide to be parents (not friends) to their children and demand discipline and the parents are held accountable for their children's actions.

Teachers are one of the key pillars of any community. They deserve better salary. Half the people using KZread own their skills to teachers, whatever part of the world your from.

A teacher salary works as a second income but not as the major supporter of a family.

Believe it or not, there is no shortage of teachers on the Colorado Front Range (the I-25 corridor from Fort Collins to Pueblo). My son majored in Education at the University of Northern Colorado, in Greeley. When he graduated, the entire class had to settle for part time teaching positions, many as low as 20 hours a week. He was "lucky" and was offered a 32 hour position, which was upgraded to full time the following year. He teaches in a Denver suburb and is paid quite a bit more than the teachers in rural schools. This is because voters in the school district where he teaches have voted to pay additional property taxes to provide extra funding to the district. Still, it isn't a princely sum and he sometimes teaches summer school and coaches school sports to earn extra money. He earns less than half of what I do.

Paying more is part of the solution, as are smaller classes, better school funding, more appreciation for the job, etc. In Germany I earn about 60.000 dollars a year, taking about the taxes, minus taxes care I still have 46.000 dollars left. As an elemantary school teacher, I am at the low end of the teacher-income-spectrum. Middleschool or Highschool teachers earn more.

@@JTDyer21 and you would still be charged for child abuse regardless. It's obvious you don't have any experience dealing with such students. Can tell you from experience such tactics don't work.

Fools...you gotta pay up

Don’t you think that the tax money CO is getting from weed should help put a dent into raising salaries?

35k is way too low

but thennnnn, we have a space military program now... Yayyy

Oh the problemb only in the rural area? Come on US...you guys dont do anything to help teachers...The world's largest economy and cant pay teachers? Its a disgrace

Inner cities have the same problem

Watching this video made me realize that even in a developped teachers are underpaid and don't get offered at least the minimum to a decent life.

It's hard to find teachers simply because nobody wants to live in the middle of nowhere.

Exactly. And to move to the middle of nowhere, they will demand more pay to relocate to somewhere they don't want to be. And a rural area doesn't have buckets of money to give teachers unwilling to move there to double their salary. Soooo, they are increasingly turning to Filipino teachers who are more willing to come to the US and work anywhere in the US.

Bottom line, no matter what: If you don't have good/wise administrators backing you as a teacher you will feel abandoned, disrespected and unsupported! Why would anyone want to stay at a school that believes it is okay for the students to lay down the law?!

Just saying...

How do you expect people to live out there when they barely afford to? Build them a house? Give them free food. Something, like my goodness.

The American dream is dead.

With all the tax money collected from marijuana sales (and it's a lot), why isn't the state paying their teachers more?

The United States has got to stop the dumbing down of America. Teachers should be paid well. I have people from the United States call me an educted liberal elitist and think they are insulting me

“It’s all about the kids” is getting very very old. Teacher shortages are all over the country and it’s going to get worse and worse. Keep treating teachers like dirt in the US and you won’t have any!!!

Judging by the thumbnail preview for this video, what about attracting *attractive* teachers?

The obvious here: you have got to get the $$ right and you have to....well you have to look at the motivations of people graduating college. This old "all about the children" thing is outdated and was never true. It is certainly about the kids....like I love the kids, but you HAVE to get real and make this an attractive job again.

WHO exactly dictates how much a teacher gets paid?

Districts have to depend on state funding and with that creates the salary schedules. Most rural school districts work together in creating that schedules.

Time for cash strapped school districts to move to online platforms. If you can’t and won’t pay a person a decent wage for a professional service, you have to start thinking in 2020 terms. Besides this model is grossly obsolete.

Free weed?

When my mom went to college there was an incentive program to become a teacher and by the time she was a teacher there were almost too many. I think some of your student loans would be forgiven if you became a teacher. Maybe they should try that again. Although back then in the 70s they didn’t pay teachers very well either. My mom was told by a school board member that the teachers didn’t need a raise because their husbands would support them. At that time my mom was single.
