It’s always depressing when we talk about the latest developments in minimum wage and how a day one burger flipper at an In and Out in California is making just as much as someone with 6 years of schooling and responsibility for teaching the next generation.
Oh and that’s not even considering how much of her own $$$ is needed to successfully supply a classroom and how barely any is tax deductible.
Her experiences almost single handedly altered my political viewpoints and who I vote for.
I honestly don't know. I'm in California and "let's not make our teachers minimum wage slaves" wasnt on any candidate's platform from what I researched. Let alone on any of the viable candidates. If no one represents my ideals, what can I do?
California is the state most likely to be able to fix it, simply get a proposition passed that says:
> No administrator of any education system may be paid more than twice the lowest-paid teacher, no matter how many hours that teacher worked during the school year. A teacher is anyone who is responsible or in charge of children or students. Political salaries are deemed administrative of the educational system that is under the purview of that elected body.
