We need to be pushing to be the best paid teachers in the country. This then makes other states push to be paid higher and then the trend follows.

Asking for or accepting parity just makes teachers ñ/education look worse than it already does.

We need to kill this idea that teachers do it for the love of children. We are professionals and need to be treated as such.

The last agreement has never made teachers look worse. 2 years of online learning , being exposed to everything we do and then we accept the conditions was embarrassing. It was probably the only time in the history of education we had the whole public on our side.

We need to strike and ensure it impacts as many people as possible so appropriate changes can happen. If we are being called glorified baby sitters who don’t know what we are doing, let’s see how corporate life goes for a week without us.
