- @therebull The pay element doesn't consider the value of the benefits (defined-benefit pensions, nearly-free healthcare and other bennies) in reply to TheRebull #
- @therebull Start putting those numbers together and teaching is among the most-lucrative public-sector professions. @therebull Again, the in reply to TheRebull #
- @therebull numbers in Mother Jones don't actually reveal the full range of teacher pay. Nor does it consider that in urban locales, teachers in reply to TheRebull #

- @classroomtools @budtheteacher But shouldn't the philosophy be: Improve the educational achievement of the children in your care? in reply to classroomtools #
- I ask this of every teacher: Has any pedagogy you have ever learned in ed school ever proved to be useful in your classroom instruction? #

- @classroomtools You need goals. You need results. You need to care about kids. Seems simple enough. in reply to classroomtools #

- @chadsansing Note, most teachers are educated in university schools of education; TFA accounts for only smattering of those numbers. in reply to chadsansing #
