I volunteered at my kid's kindergarten class today. HOLY COW! Give all kindergarten teachers a min $100k starting salary. They are saints and angels 😇 My head is about to explode with just a day's worth of work, these teachers do this day in and day out, for years on end.

They get summers off with pay

They actually don’t. Teachers can choose to let the district help them budget for summer by doing a yearly salary plan EXCEPT ask the teachers in Detroit how well that worked. The district defaulted and basically screwed them out of earned wages.

My wife has been a public school elementary school teacher for about 20 years now, teaching anywhere from 1st-5th grade. Years ago I went in with her to her then 3rd grade optional reading club on a Saturday and barely survived the 1.5 hours we were there.

There is zero chance I'd make it a full week as a teacher.

I’d rather pay teachers, police, firemen, folks doing dangerous or relatively lower paying jobs compared to the benefit they provide society more salary with the taxes we’ll be paying out for student loan forgiveness. Teachers deserve more pay

Bit of an anomaly but I just want to say that most of my teachers made/make over $100k. Yes, I live in an expensive area in a great school district lol. Of course, overtime as they gradually made more they would be in a much better financial position, but at least initially you also have to factor in the cost of living as well as debt accrued from their education, and this goes across the board not just teachers.

For example, an RN in NYC making $100k. They had to get a bachelors in nursing, maybe went for a master’s running them let’s say $200k total. After taxes that $100k becomes $70k. Now on a monthly basis, they make ~$5k but have to dish out $2k for rent w/ roommates, $2k for their hefty student loans, and have about $1k left for food, other bills, savings, and leisure (if there’s anything left). Do you see now why they made the qualifying income so high? I agree that someone in Topeka Kansas making $100k probably should have less of a problem paying off their student loans but it’s best to keep the executive order simple and as an overarching umbrella.

Who is still in denial about a housing correction? The Fed just made another .75% increase. Powell said they won’t stop until inflation is 2%. He also said a recession would be better than the consequences of unchecked inflation. He announced he will bring rates to a “restrictive level” until “the job is done”. He said that labor demand needs to soften (ie: layoffs). He very explicitly said he wants to slash demand and that housing needs a “correction”.
