So I didn't have a fancy sign or a witty shirt and I didn't get to go to the statehouse today, but I still wore my red for ed today. Indiana ranks 50th for teacher raises since 2002. It is expected that charter schools will be given a funding increase of 20% while public schools will be given an increase of 2%. Indiana ranks 37th in teacher's salaries. Oh and teachers are now required to complete an unpaid "externship" in order to renew our licenses. Teaching is hard enough without worrying about how you are going to make ends meet or how you are going to be spending even more time on professional development. Think about your favorite teachers and students. Don't they deserve better than this?
