Do or should teachers make more money if they double majored in college?

not in ca, salaries are based on years of experience plus units taken after you get your degree

I double majored, am a teacher, and don’t make any extra money because of it. Bummer. I wish I did.

Would they do anymore work during a school day than a teacher who didn’t have a double major? I think not.

Teachers should make more money, period.

and how about those teaching double classes? Most don’t get paid any more either.

@megan: I would pay good teachers a boat load more money. Until they decide to get rid of tenure then sorry, ya get what the collective earns. Period.

@sueanne: Briefly, tenure doesn’t have anything to do with being a good or bad teacher or really, with pay. Tenure protects teachers, some good, some bad. So far, people have been unable to come up with a fair way to measure what a good teacher is.

I’m sticking with my original statement…

No, tenure has nothing to do with a teacher being good or bad. However, good teachers get paid what bad teachers get paid and until a system is developed that rewards good teachers then, as a taxpayer, I say that teachers on the whole are paid just fine. It’s funny that every other profession seems to figure out ways to reward the good workers.

i think teachers should just make more money in general.
