We have been told that due to lack of money our classrooms are bulging with students--another union lie.
"California has the second highest student to teacher ratio in the nation (20.9:1), next to Utahs 21.4. And its spending per student has fallen two notches to 43rd in the nation." It does not matter that we are second in the nation with a student ratio. It matters that the ratio, on average, is only 21 students per teacher.
Unions prefer 10-12 students per teacher--not for the sake of better education, but for the money that comes to them from the bribes of the teachers.
do you make as much as teachers? Remember that get full pensions and health care benefits as well.
" * Teacher salaries: Despite a drop on overall education spending last year in California, teacher salaries increased an average of 3.5 percent to $68,093. But New Yorks average salary jumped 5.5 percent to overtake California; average salary in the Empire State: $69,118. The national average last year was $54,319."
Not bad, don't you think?
