Teacher Salary

 The topic of teacher salary's have been a very interesting conversation for a long time. It is a constant argument that teachers do not make enough for the amount of work and impact that they have on children's lives. Teaching is one of the most important occupations in todays society but it is one of the most underpaid jobs in our work force. Teachers have been fighting for better pay for many years due to the amount of work they are required to do. Sense the pandemic this has become more of an issue. Many teachers have lost steam for teaching especially sense their staffing has gone down in numbers so they are now taking on more responsibility for the same amount of pay or less due to budget cuts. Michael Hansen speaks to the issue of staffing and budget cuts around the education system in regards to the effects of the pandemic. There is less interest for teaching sense the hardships of teaching virtually with minimal support systems. As well as the support staff in the education systems are having a hard time keeping their jobs due to the effects of the budget cuts that have had to take place.

The word "Salary" is made out of

Personally, I have not had much experience with my teaching salary because I am still in school but through shadowing and observation I have seen the effects of inadequate salaries for teachers. Personally, I have chosen to complete my masters degree for early education because I will automatically make more money. Due to the salary that I will be making I have to set an expectation on the type of life I will live due to the amount of income I will make. I understand that I will have to budget well and limit my extracurricular activities to make sure I can make ends meet. This aspect of teaching is one of the only things that worry about my success in this field I hope that I will not become too overwhelmed or stressed because of this to continue enjoying my job.
