The Attack on Dr. Jill Biden is Cloaked Hatred of Teachers and Public Education

December 20, 2020 By Nancy Bailey 10 Comments

Much has been written about the offensiveness of the Wall Street Journal’s Epstein opinion piece on Dr. Jill Biden. It lacks respect for Dr. Biden, a veteran teacher, deeply committed to her profession and community college students, but it’s also meant to ridicule teaching and public education. First, it’s never wise to criticize intellectual pursuit, […]

Closing University Education Schools: A Bad Omen

October 17, 2020 By Nancy Bailey 7 Comments

The University of South Florida (USF) has announced the end of their education school due to a $36.7 million university budget cut. The change will save $6.8 million over two years. They’re using the coronavirus as the reason at a time when teachers are struggling to teach students safely. This loss is a bad omen […]

Discount Teachers: Students, Teachers, and America Deserve Better!

October 11, 2019 By Nancy Bailey 4 Comments

Like most people, I like a sale, but there are some things that don’t pan out at bargain prices, like America’s public school teachers. Most teachers are paid by a career ladder. This means they receive a salary step increase with every year of experience. Some don’t like this protocol, but it is simple and […]

Teacher Appreciation: It’s More than a Free Burrito

May 7, 2017 By Nancy Bailey 1 Comment

The official Teacher Appreciation Week starts tomorrow. If you celebrated it last week—celebrate again. In fact, celebrate every day! Teacher appreciation can’t be captured in one week. Here is my 2015 list and my 2016 list of why we should appreciate teachers. If you think of something I left out let me know. Chipotle gave […]

@clay_mcch @NancyEBailey1 This is an excellent argument for raising teachers' pay, not any sort of argument against a $15 min wage. And raising the min wage DOES raise wages for workers near the minimum. We just don't usually think about the fact that teachers fit that definition.

So Biden’s $15 minimum wage comes out to $31,200 a year for a 40 hour work week. The starting salary for a beginning teacher in Texas is $33,660. So a person working a minimum wage job will be making almost the same as a teacher with a college degree. Does this make any sense? 🤷‍♂️
