    The Hill (Moderate Left) • Factual Grade 76% • 4 min read

    The House passage of the omnibus package, which funds the federal government through September, was split in two votes so lawmakers could register specific support for the defense spending portions. The House voted 361-69 to back funding for [national security priorities] and 260-171 to adopt provisions related to domestic programs.
    ...
    The legislation was delayed after a number of Democrats came out against plans to repurpose previously allocated Covid-19 funds from state governments to help finance federal pandemic response efforts. Democratic leaders plan to set up a standalone vote next week on that funding without the controversial offset from state and local relief funds.
    ...
    The omnibus package includes about $14 billion in emergency funding to boost humanitarian, security and economic assistance for Ukraine and central European allies.

Are teachers underpaid?

708 votes, 104 comments

Context: Minneapolis public school leaders go on strike.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

Yes - As a teacher myself, I can say that my salary does not support my family. Not only that, but the 6yrs that it took me to get my degree and teaching certification make for some hefty student loan payments that I simply cannot afford with my teaching salary. Throughout my 10yrs teaching I’ve had a part-time job in addition to my full-time teaching position as well as a full-time summer position so I can make ends meet. In addition, teachers put in far more work than they are paid for, which is one of the largest factors driving burnout in the profession.


No - They are underfunded, but not overpaid. They work 8 hour days, and get two months off. Get out of here with 'they need a raise'. Their efforts d...



Unsure - The pay scale for teachers is set locally. Some are overpaid, some are underpaid. What I am sure of is that they...
