You can tell just from the kid's body language during those hugs that this man has supported him through some rough stuff.

As a prev. TX teacher, he better give those back and call the parents. Not allowed to accept gifts that expensive.

My HS band teacher is by far the best teacher I've ever had. In four years I had nine classes with him and don't regret a second.
ChainsawHandsJoe
The opposite is true as well. Nothing like being humiliated at the age of 6 from wetting yourself.
mclarkeclendon
Or at age 7, a teacher who dealt with that situation in a way that lifted me up. First time I had nice panties.
ChainsawHandsJoe
No, what I meant was SHE was the one who made me wet myself. She wouldn't let me go to the toilet when I asked.

Indeed. Thanks!
spiderqueendemon
To a sneaker collector, that is indeed a heartfelt and valuable gift. My favorite teacher collected rare children's books.
spiderqueendemon
When we found out, two years after graduation, that she had cancer, we started looking for this one really old book she'd always wanted.
spiderqueendemon
It was very expensive, and we were all broke college kids, but somehow, we managed it, and she was so touched by the gesture.
spiderqueendemon
She beat cancer and gave the toast at our ten-year reunion. Three of the class have children named for her.
spiderqueendemon
She was the sort of teacher who inspired incredible change. Very strict, to be sure, but she taught us what respect and understanding meant.
spiderqueendemon
Like...this one boy, total problem child. She gave him responsibility, and he thrived. Then she figured out it was just dyslexia.

Teachers need a wage rise
kermie92
My take home pay went down this year and my responsibilities went up. Go figure.
tehzpoon
Ugh. I'm so sorry. I'd hope for violent revolution, but so many innocent would die.
IWantToMakeCrazyScienceWithYou
They do need raises but my dad was on school board for this particular district and they have some of the highest wages in the states.
cuteandcuddly
Wait, are you saying a teacher in high school in the US can't afford a pair of sneakers?
Jfro80
I mean... they work half the year (180days) from 8:30 to 3:30 and get every holiday off. They get paid plenty...
endlessnumbereddays
In GA my mom works August 1st- June 2nd she gets there at 6:30 and leaves at 6 and all through my childhood she brought work home. <$50000/y
Alpacalypsenow
Teachers have a longer day than the students. My students come in at 8:30 and leave at 3:30 but my hours are 8-4, which is an 8-hour day
Alpacalypsenow
Also, many holidays that the kids get off (Columbus day, Presidents' Day, etc.) are teacher work days/PD days.
theearbiter
It seems like many people don't think about this.They are being paid for the amount of time they are employed.Which is less than other jobs.
Gandalfthefab
To be fair they are old and very expensive rare Jordons maybe $500-$1000 and hard to find. So it's not like he can't afford shoes.
Gandalfthefab
These are just very expensive and rare. But I do agree with you. Teachers are hands down the most shafted people in the country
nosuperman
In lots of countries they are paid fairly. It is the US that seems happy to treat them as volunteers
iFavoriteThings
Philippines also has the same problem, but they do copy USA to an unsustainable fault.
subjug8r
Don't forget, they also get $0 for supplies from the school district. All paper, pencils, pens, chalk, erasers...all out of pocket. Sad
neanderbob
I get supplies from my high school in Texas...
iyamgurting
yep, teachers pretty much solicited money from parents. THANKS PUBLIC SCHOO
Alpacalypsenow
I get $150 per year, not 0. But it's still not enough and I spend around $500-1000 per year out of pocket.
ImpossibleTask
Some school districts. The one I work at will buy a set amount of paper, pencils, etc. Anything extra that you want you pay for.
anonnona887
We have to since we have more people than actual tax payers... you want teachers to get paid more, then pay your goddamn taxes. Goes for 1
anonnona887
Those who come here illegally and expect us to pay for your shit. I all for people coming to this country but not contributing at all is bs
SSColonelHansLanda
Are you serious? I know freedomland is a crazy place, but never thought it's this crazy
Thisbefluff
It depends on the school. But yes, have to buy pencils etc for students that can't buy their owns. Even reams of paper to print tests on
shrekisourogrelord
Sometimes. My physics teacher gets over 100,000 annually counting benefits. That's pretty solid for two months off a year
theh8ed
I dated a 3rd grade teacher that made 80k/year in Mpls, MN. 80k. 3rd grade. Summers off. Yea...
KeeleonOhms
I don't understand this. My wife's a teacher and we make over 100k between us. We're doing fine. Must be regional.
spudpicker
Typically takes 20+ years of work and a masters degree to reach 50K salary in my state. I stayed at 31K for years because of budget freezes.
MyOcContent
Can you list some examples? Here in Aus its still pretty average.
scientiavulgaris
After a few years the pay is pretty good in Aus.
MyOcContent
both my parents retired at around 75k/y I'm not exactly racing to the front of the line to become a teacher.
TayTay051
I think 75K Is pretty damn good money
Snarkoleptic
Usually Scandinavia is where it's at. I know that French teachers in good areas are treated well. UK? not so much.
endrsgm
so teachers have been saying to generations of kids and lo and behold tis receited back by now adults who learned the lessons well.
endrsgm
most schools known for producing lots of teachers are also known as party schools. aka "easy schools". radford univ springs to mind.
endrsgm
secondly, teaching isnt a high skill job. that doesnt mean some teachers arent highly skilled.
endrsgm
it means that schools will hire anyone with the requisite degrees which werent hard to get. most teachers are looking for steady work.
endrsgm
not to be teachers because they care about kids.
ArandomDane
And would get it, if they agreed to end tenure.
makesthemwetasoctober
No tenure here and I haven't gotten a wage increase. What the hell are you talking about?
pent984
They not only wouldn't get a wage rise, they would also be unable to go offscript and teach things that matter, because if one person

Gets offended, they will lose their job without tenure
ArandomDane
A performance based rises have been offered for removal of tenure time and time again. (1)
ArandomDane
(2) Not being able to teaching believes as science would be an added bonus. Someone is always going to get offended, after a while the
ArandomDane
(3) schools will have to back their teachers or none would be left, but only when they are not in the wrong.
rouzuki
Well the good ones do anyway, lots of crap teachers. Though perhaps a wage increase would encourage better people to become teachers.
theh8ed
Abolishing teachers unions and or making it possible to more easily get rid of bad teachers would be a step in the right direction
DudePlayinADudeDisguisedAsAnotherDude
No. Unions offer much needed protection for workers. And teachers need it from the neoliberal privatization attack on public education.
TheLoneGringo
This is true. However since they look to be a pair of older Jordans they could have cost around 300-400 on the cheap end.
GodzillaHarddiskson
Which still is a lot when you're grossly underpaid

I do. I've paid more than that for dress shoes several times.

Good man.
YesThisIsJesus
Ebayed it and I can get a pair for 155 buy it now.
Lalaru
Where I live, teachers start at around $60k and usually hit the $100k mark in 7 years. That's why our property taxes are $15k+++ a year.
Lalaru
Which is also why kids who grew up here can't afford to live here anymore, and are leaving in droves.
Alpacalypsenow
Where do you live? I need to move.

At an annual mean wage of $57,250-59,440, I wouldn't call that VERY, VERY well paid.
beatingoffinfrontofapegasus
it is for wyoming. you can do a lot on that kind of salary. It's VERY, VERY good for a single person.
DudePlayinADudeDisguisedAsAnotherDude

tehzpoon
I think twice average is VERY, VERY.
theh8ed
For 9 months a year with the best 3 months off? Shiiiiit. If they worked a full year, like most people, that'd be 77k/year. Yea...
ssshhhiiiiiiiii
Teachers get paid for 9 months worth of work, but the pay is stretched over 12 months. And it's really like 2 months off w/out pay.
DudePlayinADudeDisguisedAsAnotherDude
Not quite. Factoring in actual worked hours and compared to those with comparable education and training, your analysis is a bit off.
DudePlayinADudeDisguisedAsAnotherDude
Except teachers work more hours, on average, those with comparable education and training.
theh8ed
They're also almost impossible to fire thus have some of the best job security of any prof. Did I mention summers off?It's a pretty good gig
theh8ed
People act like they are paid $12/hr. They are compensated well in MN. Far from underpaid.
cklepper
Average wage in Wyoming is something like $35,000/year.
DudePlayinADudeDisguisedAsAnotherDude
Well, far more people work low wage jobs and that skews the data lower. Either way, "VERY, VERY" is an overstatement.

Also, teachers in our area own house in the top 10% of the housing market. They are paid VERY well thanks to the states mineral royalties.
DudePlayinADudeDisguisedAsAnotherDude
I don't believe you. At her age your talking 7 years in the field, at most. Likely not having a PhD also means she's not at the top bracket.

$55,000/year is entry level, right out of college.

MeanMisterClean
What makes you say that?
DudePlayinADudeDisguisedAsAnotherDude
To have a minimum of 13 teachers and think they are all garbage suggests it's more the person than the teachers.

It's common here in the UK to buy chocolates for your teachers at the end of the year. From primary school upwards. Sometimes we gave whisky

I get the odd thing but I'd much rather a nice letter over loads of gifts.

Makes sense. A gift you can only eat once, a letter you can read over and over.

On the internet, people seem to love to speak for their country - not a tradition in any of the UK schools I've been to.
