I've already pointed that out. If my small rural school had to pay greater wages for teachers......it'd have to close. It was the same with my first school.
I like teaching at the same kind of schools I started out with as a child. (later in life I ended up in very large schools in other states) You make allowances in life. I get the kind of work environment I want. I live with less money. I'm fine with that.
The Republicans have nothing to do with my life choices.
Things cost what they are worth normally. When you place a low value on your labor and services, it is you who are at fault. And if you buy the line that your employer cannot afford to pay you, perhaps your employer should seek a different line off work as they sound woefully incompletely to provide the service that they pretend to provide.
The Constitution of the state of Arkansas says this
Arkansas
“Intelligence and virtue being the safeguards of liberty and the bulwark of a free and good government, the State shall ever maintain a general, suitable and efficient system of free public schools and shall adopt all suitable means to secure to the people the advantages and opportunities of education.”
Sounds to me like they are doing a poor job and you are enabling that by serving in a system which does not pay decently or have benefits worthy of an educated professional. But then, if so lowly value your own services, that is on you and not me.
States with the best (and worst) schools
Arkansas is #42.
It looks like you get what you pay for.
