Not true. My daughter worked full time and worked with special needs children and was only paid $28K. If she would have worked as a teacher she would have been making a little over $40K. This was in West Texas.

You had one job, one.
Everyone is graded on job performance. The teachers are no different.
School supplies for the teacher and classroom should be paid by the school. That is what all those property taxes are for.
MY kids schools supplies I don't mind paying for. But give me a list and I'll use it as a guide. I'm not buying everything on there unless I know he needs it.
I've seen stacks of unused stuff at the end of the year in my kid's classrooms.

ESL is a scam. The schools get paid 1.5X more for ESL students. So the game is to keep them in ESL as long as possible. Instead of doing a one-year immersion and mainlining the kids they keep them in ESL for YEARS.
Personally, I don't think we owe the spawn of invaders a damn thing, much less a free education.

On the news and in the paper here around the DFW metromess it's being reported that almost every district has a minimum $66k starting salary...for a part time job.
We left Portland over 9 years ago. When we left the AVERAGE PSD teacher was making $75k a year, with many of them making over $100k.
As as been said, they know what the pay is before they take the job. Taking the job shows they are fine with the pay.

they started doing that years ago my 2nd wife and i had a child in school and the would double the list of her school supplies to be able to outfit the freloaders we told her teachers at a parent teacher meeting we were not going to be supplying alll of her classmates that is was not our responsibility or problem that we would make sure our child had what she needed and that was alll we were going to do
I don't disagree with this at all but the problem is at the top.
I'm sure west Texas is quite different than this area, but the money is certainly out there. Conroe ISD 2022-2023 Pay Plan
That is the pay plan for the Bureaucrats (Administrators). I would be curious about the Pay Plan for the teachers if you have access to it. And you are right, all things are not equal across the state.
Teachers knew what they were getting into when they took the job.
It is the school's responsibility to supply the teachers and classroom with what is needed. We property owners pay property taxes, whether we have kids in school or not, and the schools get a huge portion of those taxes. And they squander huge amounts of that money.
It is the parent's responsibility to buy what their kids need. If you can't feed 'em don't breed 'em.

sadly the irs will always be around!
School districts do get paid extra for the ESL kids. And they have to pay ESL teachers extra for their ability to speak the second language. Mostly it’s Spanish but larger districts have teachers that speak other languages. Heard recently about some African language being spoken in I think Houston.
As a teacher, I guess I can put in my two cents worth. Of course, things are a bit different between grade and high schools compared to higher education.
If the teacher is asking for themselves, I would call BS. I don't see anything wrong with asking for the students. Also, thinking all teachers don't give themselves, is wrong. While I can't speak for all, I don't go out and buy supplies for the students, I do give to scholarships, which could be used to buy supplies.
Usually a school district will lobby for supplies, but depending on the size of the district, individual teachers may ask on their own.
As far as teaching as a job goes, could I have made more money in the oilfields? Undoubtably. I chose teaching, after working as a welder most my life, because that was something I wanted to do ever since college, plus wear and tear on my body was getting old. It's not always about the money, and I'm not complaining. I will say, I like my time off.
One thing I will say is, I don't remember ever having most anything supplied to me going through school, but I didn't grow up around here and I had parents that could supply my things for school.
Give or don't give, frankly I can find much bigger things to bitch about.

You ain’t kidding. There’s a food pantry on Brittmoore that I pass on the way to work. They have cars idling in the right lane stretching 10-12 cars waiting to turn in. A good 1/3 of those are newer and nicer rides than mine. How does that happen?
