Shell out them more.

60k ain’t shit anymore. 60k easily qualifies for low income housing in my area

Actually it should be more to cover living expenses. It should follow like Finland eliminate private schools so parents want all their kids have the best education possible at public schools.

$60,000 is not enough.

Please pay them more than 60k

100k per year seems fair. If they're having problems finding the funding take it from the house and the Senate, they seem to be worthless anyways.

Good news , the billionaires will make sure as many of us as possible won’t be working at all!

I don't understand why we tax our teachers. Our taxes go to them. Why are we taxing that?

$75 k is more like a starting point.

Love Bernie. The negotiation tactic he used. A foundation to build on, he says 60K but! We all know it should be more. That shows you that we can’t even get the bare minimum.

$90k minimum for teachers sounds more reasonable

also, give them a large budget for materials and classroom decorations

80k

Crazy coming from Canada where our teachers are unionized and make $100k. Doesn't mean our premier is not attacking education and trying to ruin it, or that education assistants and kindergarten teachers (ECEs) are being screwed over.

Teachers aren't paid 60k??

I just bought my first home at 47 halfway through last year and only got the standard deduction anyway and wound up owing $950 this year because i took a small 401k withdraw to close and the financial institution didn’t withhold enough for taxes. I’m paying more in tax this ...

60k is less. 100k is fair.

As a teacher who has had to work two full time jobs, I say Amen brother Bernie

Wow. I was a teacher in a high need area until 2011 and I never made $60K. Most teachers don't unless they have been teaching more than a decade or have a master's degree, or coach. Many of my colleagues bartended or worked as waiters on evenings and weekends. Others divided...

absolutely, teachers deserve so much more respect and pay for what they do

Double that

Last week my waiter was an accountant. It’s not just teachers

Dang it, Bernie got stuck with the prices of when he was running for the nomination 10 years ago...

But also, when people have endless money they have endless power and they can literally rape little kids and pay for a cover up. Let's talk about that.

60k ain’t shit today

My wife will be making 100,000 grand after 10 years as a teacher. 60,000 is laughable still

It should be double that if not more.

That's roughly 20k more than I make, and I still don't think that's enough for them. $100k, at the minimum. These people are in charge of shaping the future generations.

is there data on current average teacher pay

An educated electorate is not favorable to one political party in the U.S. Take a wild guess which one.

60k is a joke.

billionaires get bailouts while teachers get a "go-fund-me" for school supplies lmao system is broken

They need to protect them from the religious and political fanatic parents who make noise about teaching them science and the arts.

We have plenty of money for corporate subsidies but somehow the budget is always tight for education

What the actual fuck? A teacher in the USA gets less than 60K? How is this a thing? Seriously is the USA a third world country? ... because you look like a third world country.

For the kinds of bullshit teachers have to deal with daily, they should be making 6 figures tbh

A few years ago the tax laws changed teachers lost being able to deduct a certain cost of classroom expenses.

preach, my mom’s a teacher and she’s exhausted from side gigs just to pay bills. $60k minimum should be the bare minimum fr

60k with a masters degree? Way off here

Way more than $60,000. I’d think closer to 80,000+

$60k? Thats not nearly enough anymore.

Bernie is great but his numbers are from like 2005. Minimum teacher pay should be 100k at the k-12 level. Adjuncts in higher education need to have the opportunity to work full time.

I’ve never accepted it but I keep getting outvoted.

if we taxed wealth and high income, we could

Whatever wage a cop is paid is what a public school teacher should be paid.

How dare them stop at teachers or any "favorite" profession

How cute. Bernie still thinks $60K is a good annual salary. $100K is the new $60K Bernie.

part of the scam is to keep us dumb and uneducated, so we have no ideas what our rights are and how the whole system is a big fat scam on our cost. and if you look at the current elections, it unfortunately is working as intended...

Most teachers don’t deserve $60k a year.

teachers don't all deserve 60k a year.
