Republicans Won't Help Teachers Buy Books, Will Help Them Shoot Guns

How Much Do Teachers Spend On Classroom Supplies?


It's inevitable. Each year, teachers dip into their own pockets to buy things like notebooks, tissues and pencils for their students.

This inevitability is even enshrined in the tax code, which gives educators a $250 deduction for their trouble. Late last week, in hammering out their big tax overhaul, Republicans decided to preserve that deduction. So we thought we would ask teachers how much of their own money they spend each year.
The answer: more than $250.

Erin Craddock, a fourth-grade teacher in Virginia, says she spends more than $300 a year on things like chapter books, bookshelves, folders, organization trays, pocket charts, construction paper and hand sanitizer.

Many teachers told us they spend as much as a $1,000 a year, including Heather Lyke.

3 hundred dollars a year.....THAT CAN BE and often is written off when filing an INCOME TAX. The poor things. Its not like you have just lied your ass off....as the Untied States spends MORE MONEY on education than any other nation on earth....that has resulted in the US falling to 37th place in the world rankings of worthless teachings like, SCIENCE, MATH, ...etc.

Conclusion: If you want higher paid teachers......get better qualified teachers. Right now the only thing the majority of teachers are concerned about is working out a retirement (when they realize they are working in a corrupt system) where its basically impossible to get fired due to incompetence. We the People should be grading the teachers instead of the students that can't read at an 8th grade level after graduating. Its become a "flat nose" UNION thingy....a corrupt industry with a great deal of the tax monies ending up in the coffers of the UNIONS.....that is spent on POLITICS instead of educating our youths with a quality education. Just like everything else Big Brother touches.....it always becomes corrupt with rampant WASTE.

You know when I was in the Military.....I had to spend money on such things as boots, shoes, uniforms, haircuts, breakfast, lunch...etc.., Why should an industry (education) that's vastly more important than a few officers having to spend money on their own careers be any different? No one is forcing them to serve their neighborhoods and communities.....QUIT and go to work in the private sector. But...they will not because they are locked into an automatic retirement with some of the best benefits (paid for by our tax dollars) on earth when their output is compared to their salary. They are being paid with 1st place money and producing 37th place results. Its not the teachers that are corrupt.....ITS THE SYSTEM. Education....just like Religion should never be placed into the hands of POLITICIANS. We do have local school boards that know far better just what their communities need than some Career Bureaucrat in DC.

Teachers gun went off in class a couple days ago. Hit the ceiling and fragment hit a kid in the neck. The teachers was a reserve police officer. Yeah guns in classes is such a great idea. Think teachers will be better trained than he is? More guns = more shootings and more deaths.
