Republican legislature in COlorado:imprison teachers who go on strike

Colorado Republican lawmakers want to punish striking teachers with jail time.
Teachers who walk out of class could also face up to $500 a day in fines

Two Republican state lawmakers are trying to shut down a potential teachers strike in Colorado with the threat of jail time.

The bill, introduced in the state Senate Friday, prohibits districts from supporting a teachers strike and requires schools to dock a teacher’s pay for each day they participate in a walkout. The teachers could also face up to six months in jail and a $500 daily fine if they violate a court order to stop striking. Under the new law, sponsored by state Sen. Bob Gardner (R) and state Rep. Paul Lundeen (R), a teacher could be immediately fired without a hearing.

The harsh punishment comes in reaction to the teacher strikes sweeping red and purple states, including Oklahoma, West Virginia, Arizona, and Kentucky. Thousands of teachers in Colorado have joined the grassroots movement, holding rallies at the state capitol in recent weeks to demand a pay raise and more funding.

Teachers are planning to walk out of class on April 27 to protest low teacher pay and school spending. Several school districts, including Denver schools, have announced they will close that day.

Colorado teachers are among the lowest paid in the country, earning an average $46,155 in 2016 — ranking Colorado 46th in average teacher pay according to the National Education Association. The state also spends about $2,500 less per student each year than the national average.

They are public servants, not wal-mart employees. You can't just strike whenever you want and expect zero consequences

they deserve to be paid more, this is more or less their only method of obtaining raises

Bullshit. Public sector workers are chronically overpaid, because they do not have to meet market demands. Everyone should have the right to strike, but employers should also have the right to fire them on the stop.

Geez not so free speech are you?

That's what I'm talking about, I'm so sick of all these entitled activist teachers. You work 9 months out of the year and your job is simple as fuck, you don't deserve a massive salary. K-12 education is a very low-skill job that's technically seasonal. Even your average suburban soccer-mom can successfully homeschool, it's not rocket science. Either get a better paying job, get a summer job to supplement your income, or shut the fuck up.

The speech might be free, but time and labor isn't. These people are in violation of the contract they agreed to. If they're into free speech, I have a feeling they'll have a lot more free time on their hands real soon.

Good. Fuck 'em. Now they can experience this statist shit hole we've been dealing with for the last half century because of their teaching.
The only issue legally is the docked pay. You can't dock someone's pay like that because it's illegal.

They could just do what the bus drivers do every year and use the off-year voting when there's not a major election to shovel shit through that would otherwise never be approved by the public. Colorado education isn't even that bad, and $46,155/year in Colorado is more like $80,000/year in the more populated parts of the US (unless you live in Denver).

ITT: user had a bunch of shit teachers so hates the profession.

Jail activist teachers!
Make it a felony.

Even a simpleton like you could teach i bet
You could teach all the kids how to spell moran and nigger

Its not that I hate the profession, it's that I'm sick of low skilled laborers complaining about low wages in general, especially a seasonal job like k-12 teaching.

My neighbour pays a tutor $60 an hr to teach her 16 yr old math

Hows your HS math teaching skills?

Teachers are underpaid.
A lot of money in education is wasted on bullshit they don't need (ipads) or administrative staff.
A principal makes 6-7 times the salary of the teachers working under him.
(30K / teacher -> 180k / principal)

shes obviously smart enough to get a job that will pay well.

don't be disingenuous, even the article says $46,155/yr (actually per 9 mos) is on the low end. it's seasonal, low skill labor. Combined with 3 months of secondary income, k12 teachers can easily pull themselves into the median income bracket.

Yes, please jail them. Those old sluts rape children and the kikes media shield them from criticism.

As a former teacher in Virginia, teachers are underpaid in some states. I lived and worked in northern Virginia (one of the most deteriorating regions of the country) as it was the only place in the mid-atlantic I could get a job upon immediately graduating with my masters' degree. I lived paycheck to paycheck and more than 50% of my salary was used on rent, on the cheapest apartment I could find in the area (development is artificially skyrocketing property prices in NoVa).

This kind of pay really is not acceptable for graduate educated professionals, and teachers should be able to make a living while saving some money to eventually buy a house. I'm making more money now as a PhD student than I was making as a teacher, and that's unacceptable.

Of course, there are some regions of the country where teachers are paid well, enough to live a comfortable middle class life (Pennsylvania, New York come to mind). But claiming that all teachers are overpaid is grossly inaccurate.

I don't think you understand what this means.
Your county assessor values property based on the value of neighboring property at "fair market value", you have no say in this, although you should becasue property owners are stakeholders in that "valuation".

The teachers are stakeholders in this "market valuation" and have a say in their pay.

THE US GIVES THE JEWS $10MILLION EVERY DAY

Sigh, the nonstop american race to have the worst political parties

Relative to what, though? K12 teaching is considered low-skill labor so saying you can't afford rent on a low-skill job's salary isn't saying much. The burger flippers and the trash guys are having trouble paying rent, too.

And those same teachers, burger flippers, and trash guys shouldn't be having (((problems))) that didn't exist in (((their))) current capacity an hundred years ago. They should be payed a wage that isn't based off of a fiat federal reserve note that is printed into oblivion and results in the value of their labour being nothing.
Then why do some of these jobs require master degree's to teach what a highschool diploma student already learned? Since it is such low skill, yet, the entry into the field is now much higher then even forty years ago when a high school diploma sufficed. The only conclusion to come to is that (((they))) are artificially increasing the neccessitated skill set as to push more and more americans who are not liars out of jobs. Thereby allowing more liars, specifically foreigners, to take these jobs.

The same fraudulently required skillsets' is being required by (((employers))) all over the job market for all americans. You either lie, decieve, go into debt you will never pay off with fraudulent federal reserve notes which also decrease the value of your labour to literally nothing, and or you have to take labour jobs to earn fraudulent federal reserve notes that still allow you to earn based on merit the position.

It's moron, you cretinous nigger.

If they're public servants then they need the same benefits public servants receive. Teachers are paid like absolute trash which is completely counter productive to the idea of wanting good education. Teaching should be a high demand position, they are educating the future masses after all. If they do a shit job they fall to stupid shit like marxism.

Do you have any idea how many licenses you need to teach at a Kindergarten level?

We're reaching levels of classcuck that shouldn't be possible

The more money teachers make, the less there is in the budget for NEET welfare.

Its not as simple a job as you think. Most teachers have to buy their own classroom supplies, spend hours of extra time every day grading papers and setting up their curriculum, meet with parents and get a bunch of shit all because the parents couldnt raise their kid right, and then get yelled at because the shit they have to teach is not really educating anyone. Incredibly strenuous profession, especially k-12. Get your head outta your ass or stfu if you dont know what your talking about. Nobody is saying they need to be millionaires, but they do need to be paid justly.

Absolutely fucking zero in the State of Colorado. All "teaching licenses" are training required by the individual schools, not the state.

Also this. Had a Colorado teacher who worked as an electrical technician during the summer/occasionally on the weekends and he was living fine.

I'll let you in on a secret…
1) Colorado has some of the loosest teaching laws in the country- you can be a teacher with just a bachelors degree.
2) Anywhere outside of the major cities is dirt cheap to live in.
3) Tuition to get a bachelors comes out to something like $12,000/year on average, with some schools being as low as $7,000/year taking 18 credit hours/semester.

>And those same teachers, burger flippers, and trash guys shouldn't be having (((problems))) that didn't exist in (((their))) current capacity an hundred years ago.
Burger Flipping has always been a transition job held by teenagers and college students. Even back in the 30s/40s it was a job where you expected the burger flipper to either get a promotion within a year or two, or only do it while they get through school.
"Trash guys" are not underpaid.
(K-12) Teachers have historically always been a low-income profession. The difference is that "100 years ago" they would go and visit a different student's family every evening and the student (or their parents) was expected to feed the teacher (and in some cases lodge the teacher), and typically a student would bring the teacher some form of breakfast in the morning, so their basic living expenses were partially covered by the parents of their students.

As far as I'm concerned all current teachers should be lined up and shot.

And most of those issues are cultural, and/or something that most skilled salary labor has to do in one capacity or another between telephone conferences from home, work from home, etc. It's not unique to teachers, and there's plenty of professions that make far less than they do. Usually the niggers nigging in class is the teacher's fault because they either aren't cut out to be a teacher or they never fucking follow through. My 52 year old mother was a bus driver and put a bus full of spics and niggers into perfect working order over the course of about three months just by doing basic shit like calling the parents and telling them how their child was doing. Not to mention most teachers teach the same fucking class from year-to-year so after putting a lesson plan together for two years, they basically just have to edit it/work out the bugs from year-to-year. How about you stop being a fucking nigger and "stfu" faggot.

...

where the fuck are you getting low skill from? Go substitute. You wouldn't last a day. I did the teaching thing for a year and it's hard, thankless, and shit pay. Took my stem degree and became an analyst at Merrill Lynch and never looked back. Work is easier, management is competent and doesn't constantly get in your way, and the pay is infinitely better.

go back to Africa with your nigger values. You have to be a brain dead retard to not understand collective bargaining comes with being free.

Where does the constitution say that?

Teachers have lower salaries, teachers agitate for higher salaries, department of education gets more funding, department of education spends it on administrators, teachers have low salaries, teachers agitate for higher salaries…. they let themselves be used and permit school administration to use them. If teachers were interested in getting higher salaries, they would agitate to reduce administration sizes. Teachers aren't interested in getting higher salaries, teachers are fully complicit in the robbing of the taxpayer and want to crush the American worker, period.

The average wage in America of people who work full time is $26,695. Teachers work half a year, their salary should be half that…. it's in fact twice that over $50,000. Teachers only earn 20% of their wage fairly, the remaining 4/5ths of their paycheck they steal from the American worker by blackmailing to DAMAGE THEIR KIDS BRAINS!!!

Or I should say "damage their kids brains further" because teachers as a rule already abuse students, see teachers manage to fail to teach kids how to read a clock yet somehow succeed in teaching children about how great Obama is.

Chinese teachers have 60 children per teacher and do a better job. If teachers had any sense of shame they would have committed suicide, but it's pretty fucking clear these narcissist psychopathic subhumans are not actually capable of that emotion.

You aren't buying $13,000 worth of paper clips a year faggot. The IRS did an investigation and found out the average teacher spends $250 a year on supplies out of pocket, and then gave the faggots a tax break for that money. A lot of teachers promptly stopped fucking doing it and enjoyed a $250 Christmas bonus.

Teachers are filth, scum and offal of humanity,. They need to be thrown in a woodchipper and plowed under the earth, where they can fertilize crops and do some good.

You realize the only thing holding the education system together are the boomers who haven't died off yet and a handful of teachers who feel too guilty to abandon their students. The only people taking teaching jobs anymore are people who somehow managed to get a degree, but still cannot find any other job because they are to incompetent to tie their own shoes. Even then positions go completely unfilled and classes end up double the legal size to compensate. Meanwhile every classroom has ipad, laptops, and new software that is bought from campaign donors and companies are pressing for more immigration because they can get more educated workers from India. You know, the country where they can't even figure out toilets.

Just another example of our failing education system.

And 100% of costs the teacher pays for their job is tax deductible.

As you are too.

if only I had better teachers because the pay was competitive.

Yes so we're just going to completely disregard the fact that during the summer there is a lot of planning for the rest of the school year yes? Not to mention, how are teachers supposed to get a second job just for the summer when employers know they're just gonna go right back to teaching when the school year continues?

The Chinese outnumber us 3 to 1 so it make sense their classrooms are also 3 to 1. And how do they do a better job teaching? What prospects do they have after schooling?

Bad teachers, maybe, the problem is that teaching in the public sector is noncompetitive. The wage is low and few people want to get a BA simply to be yelled at by a bunch of irritable teenagers. Not to mention, in various states you literally have to be approved by the govt before you can step foot as a teacher.

There is too much siphoning people away from teaching and this leads to poorer education. Especially because of nonsense like No Child Left Behind that essentially changed the teaching structure from "teach them to learn" to "teach them to pass a test".

No Child Left Behind and the perceived competitive lifestyle of teaching must be fixed.

You're making a joke about these monsters raping children as… what? An attempt to prove they aren't scum? Fucking wow.

Jesus fucking Christ.


Yes, 100% of it WAS tax deductible, until teachers stopped doing it so they could spend the deduction on iphones.


Admin does this, not teachers, average teacher in America works 190 days.

How are other seasonal workers faggot? Never mind the fact that they're paid TWICE what a full time worker is paid. The fuck.

This is your brain on modern education.

Look at the image here again and note the date we started paying teachers more for fucking nothing.

Wow, it's like you've never worked a temp job in your life, user! That's literally what companies do: They get more business in the summer because school is out/more people are working and have money/people are doing more work on their houses and businesses in the good weather, so they hire temp workers. That's pretty much half the reason why Home Depot, technician fields, construction, and Sam's Club's (to name examples) models are hiring shit tons of workers over the summer expecting to only bring on maybe 1/10th of them part-time or full-time when Autumn comes around.

He's a socialist, I doubt he's ever had a job.

This is partly why the US education system is a fucking mess

Can you even?

They're niggers. They just want higher taxation theft against their neighbors so their low skill, seasonal job of 'teaching' kidnapped children is more lucrative. It's not based in any sort of rationality, it's just statist niggers nigging so much that even .gov can't stand their shit anymore.

Explains why people in Europe spend thousands out-of-pocket to come study in the US for a US degree.

No, I can't even.

JFC shitbird, do you have the slightest clue what teachers get paid for all their malingering and lollygagging?
