America done, over.

Because a woman owned a private server.

SHAME on ALL of us.

to afford those finer things. But if you're working two jobs then when in the world would you have time to go out on that boat?

And considering that the definition of a boat is "a hole in the water surrounded by wood or fiberglass into which you pour money" means that you can never quit that second job.

on their salary as it stands without the second job?

Teachers work hard and have an important job. They deserve better pay, not second jobs.

OK, he's a Republican, and if his mouth is moving he's lying, it comes with the job.

Arizona ranks 40th in starting pay for teachers at just $31,874, compared to New Jersey, the state at the top with $48,631. Huge difference!

Forget the boats you self serving ass, teachers love what they do, but those 2nd jobs are necessary just to afford a place to live, and pay for some of those "finer things in life" like food, water and electricity.

Adding that ALL the lowest paying states are... ready? Republican!

That is usually where their arguments head. You see teaching is a thankless profession that should only be done by women that will be provided for by God and the Church. The Bible, er men in power that abhor education for the commoners, love to tout the nuns, and their idealistic vision of how wonderfully cheap school was in the good ole days, before teachers got all uppity.

Edit to add did you see the House bill this was a discussion about ??

I.T. Administration - not teaching. But I get a pretty objective view of how teachers are treated in this state and how they live.

The AZ GOP views public educators with slightly less contempt than they might hold for an ISIS executioner. Public education is a major budget item that gets in the way of not just cutting taxes for the rich, but eliminating them. And worse, public schools are not allowed to be used to fundamentalist religious indoctrination. Don't get me started on the private charter scam schools in this state - that's a long topic.

No, our teachers are not doing that well and MANY of the best are leaving for states where they are not treated like scum. SB 1042 is desperation to fill positions with people who have no teaching skills and Sen Allen has no clue about what it takes to handle a room full of students at any level.
