If you care about the children of Oklahoma then you fight for change. Shouldn't they have good schools too?

When I joined the discussion, and in all the back and forth since, this has been about teacher salary. All I've ever done is make common sense observations on that specific subject. Yes. children should have good schools.

Then schools need good teachers and to find good people you are going to have to come up with a system where take home pay is more than 450 dollars a week, even in Oklahoma. Teachers deserve more respect than to compare income to high school graduate and drop out incomes. Compare salary to other bachelor degree jobs.
