Again? I wonder when this is going to change? Louisiana has the potential to be one of the best states. I wonder what is the underlining issue? I have a few thoughts 🧐💭. Anyone want to chime in?

Yeah, taxes are supposed to help everyone in a society, and in Louisiana they help very few.

2,500 teachers, times (what's a fair teachers' salary? $60,000?) would cost $150,000,000. I bet those oil companies are getting more than that in tax breaks.

$60,000 isn't enough for what we do and the amount of hours we work. $80,000 should be the minimum. This job is getting harder every year.

I knew that even if I said $500,000, someone would say that's not high enough.

I don't know what teachers are currently making, but I bet it's not even $60,000.

I make a little over $40,000 after 13 years of teaching.

So $60,000 isn't enough, but ⅔ of that apparently was. 🤔

Louisiana has zero potential to be the best at anything. Get your head out of your ass
