People who guard and educate our children are paid far too little for the job they do. The salary ranges for highly educated education professionals need to be raised.
Why is this important?
Why am I doing this? Because I have friends that teach, because I want to teach, because to change careers and teach means I have to be paid less than half of what I would make as a skilled laborer WITHOUT a Masters in Education, or even a degree. THAT isn't right, and it isn't fair.
