So two certified teachers applied for a position as a teacher's aid in our school. WOW. Thats barely minimum wage. Four year degrees, specializations and skills and they can't find a job.
What a nightmare. Texas is going further and further south.
Now I may piss off a lot of people but I have to ask. Why in Texas are we educating children who are illegal? As a teacher we can not ask their status. It's against the law. Yet, they can drain legal tax paying citizens moneys and get a free education. We cut salaries, we expect our teachers to work for squat even though they have exstensive and ongoing educations.
I have zero ill feelings towards the children, a child is a child no matter what their background. BUT, why are we allowing adults to steal our taxdollars when they dont contribute. Just take.
Mexico is a scary and dangerous place, I understand that. BUT again, its illegal yet your kids get a free education and free lunches???? Free daycare, free special needs care. which drains our budgets and our taxes to provide the same excellent care no matter again what their status.
Help me see this in a different light, I am open to other's opinions and input. I am not trying to be hateful or racist. I m trying to grasp why I am expected to take less pay, work longer hours, have less materials, ten plus year old books and the kids just keep coming and coming. Tax dollars in Texas will run out. Too few are paying and too many are draining. What is Rick Perry going to do.... Oh wait, he's working on being President, He could care less.
