On Wednesday, May 16, thousands of North Carolina educators took to the streets to protest against low teacher salaries and deteriorating school conditions. Their one-day strike is part of a growing national movement that has swept across the country since West Virginia teachers began the initiative in February.

          Ok, ok, ok. For all the kids out there wanting less homework, consider this. Homework is there to reinforce what you learned in class. I am in 10th grade and I get about 6-8 hours of homework every night. Even though I would rather be doing something fun and relaxing, I still am glad that my teachers gave me the work to do. In math, for example, you learn how to do long division in class. But you can't expect to be perfect in long division in the 30 minutes to an hour of class time. You have to go home and practice it. That's the same for every subject. Complaining won't help anything.

            Wow. I didn't realize until now how much teachers are really getting paid. Teachers work really hard to help children get education, and they don't earn much money for such an important job for the world. Teachers should get paid a sustainable living wage, or children won't get good classrooms or supplies during their school years.

                      The money will be found when every teacher stops coming to work. It's sad it's come to this. It's not fair for if he teachers or the students. Sometime, people who work for the school gets paid MORE then the teacher who's doing the work! It's terrible.
