Faculty on Food Stamps 2

they get paid, if they do not like the income go to another place and teach.
I made $30,000 teaching overseas, they provided me a place to stay 2 meals a day
stayed there 3 years saved all my money
paid for my house when I got back I'm 23
own it free and clear,
I'm going back next year and going to teach again

All work should be valued and no one should be exploited...in teaching, industry, or in any other field. We have reached a real low in our history when the services of teachers are no longer valued, and when education is no longer considered an essential resource in society. Shame on universities and colleges for allowing this gross exploitation of the teachers who are teaching my children. I wish that more parents and citizens understood the extent of the problem!

teachers get paid also they do not work full time like regualr people do
they get all the holidays off
all the weekends off
months off during the summer

Teachers work all year round...They just aren't in front of a classroom every minute of the day. As the school year starts, my father (a teacher) will be working 7 days a week, often until the wee hours of the morning just to keep up. And this summer, becuse of low teacher wages, he got a part-time job at minimium wages. Teachers work long and hard. I do not understand where people who make comments like your are coming from....

teacers do not work 7 days a week
again / would love to have the summer months off
in florida average teachers makes around
30,000 dollars. most people do not make that in Floirda working all year.
When I lost my job 2 years agao that paid $72,000 I lost everything. now after 2 years of woking 2 jobs, I own my home free and clear, I have not had a holiday off in 2 years there are a lot of peolpe who would love to have teachers job

To Wcoltd:

dude, why should working as cashier at burger king or an engineer or a doctor not be a Civic duty. scu*mbag.......

Education should be a civic duty regardless of the profession. If, for example, a doctor or an engineer or a cashier were to discover some new method that makes their profession easier, it is their duty to communicate it. But I think academia deserves special emphasis because the profession is entirely based upon education.

That was covered at 5:06

No it wasn't

He never really addressed the question he was "responding to"

The question was "Nobody's forcing you to work there, why not leave teaching to those who can afford the luxury?"

his reply was
It's important to not feel we are oppressed but we ARE oppressed and I don't think that we should accept that. "get active" blah blah join a union blah blah.

but you have to FEEL oppressed in order to stand up against oppression otherwise why would you stand up against it in the first place?
