Absolutely agree with the spouter regarding the 12 teachers arrested in NJ. Unfortunately, I believe the governor will do nothing and the teachers union NJEA will protect them and negotiate for 60K the first day. Hands down the worst union. Due to Covid, school shootings, disrespect from parents and administrators many excellent teachers retired or resigned. Young people are NOT going to college to become teachers anymore. Thus, many new teachers are NOT qualified and/or have skeletons in their closet. Definitely don’t deserve 60K as a starting salary!
