A good step, but other demonstrations of support and respect would help. For example, providing sufficient funding so that teachers don't have to pay for classroom materials out of their own pockets.
This is what real leaders do. Investing in teachers is investing in the next generation of Mexican citizens. Gracias Claudia Sheinbaum por tu liderazgo. ❤️
Good for them! Instead, for us, the Department of Education is being dismantled. I teach at a Title 1 school in a poor state, and our funding for next year has been cut so badly that 12 teachers will be out of a job.
Our teachers should be paid more and get raises every year and no one takes into account that without a teacher you could not be an attorney, doctor, engineer nor a president of course our president was stupid throughout his school years so he doesn’t count
People working as secondary school teachers in Canada typically earn between $28.02/hour and $57.69/hour. They have 3 months of vacation, and tons of benefits. And they cry all the times: they always want more and more.
Call me crazy but worker pay increases shouldn’t just come on a happy holiday - but should be tied to economic markers and be super boring, and regular.
Leaders want a country that values education and excellence across the board. Bullies and fascists want a country that values dumbing down and manipulating the populace.
While I do not begrudge my fellow teachers a salary increase, I would personally wish for a 10% increase in general respect for the profession from society at large... that would be a whole lot more meaningful to me... guess that is not quite as easy to swing though...

This is the smartest thing I've heard in a long time. What better way to make a long-term investment in your country's future than to raise teacher salaries and attract more and better #teachers?
Wow! Most teachers had to go on strike just to get a compromised 4% and 2% over next 2 years just trying to stay above the increased inflation each year
That is so intelligent and helpful. A president who cares about teachers and education. But we don't get that. We get the prez who is dismantling education.
I taught college on and off for years. Also had second jobs at the same time so I could help my students get what they needed for class. Not one single college reimbursed me. I did it so my students could be successful. So many of us do this.
Teaching is a calling for most. Only a few total losers get into teaching because they can’t do anything else. I saw this first hand in Eastern Ky. There weren’t many jobs that required an education so teaching was the easiest degree and job to get. As a student it was easy to tell them apart. ☹️
Agreed. Most of us do it for the love of education.
My best moments teaching are when a student has the “AHA” moment. Their face lights up because they learned something new or mastered a skill they struggled with. Makes me so happy. Best feeling to me.
Right? We have an abusive evil bitch instead. Only bc Musk & his DOG-E boyz hacked the election tallies. This is what Musk holds over Shitler & why he's allowed to do anything.

That is totally wild, they are spending money on EDUCATION!
Be careful, all those kids and adults will be able to think for themselves. Mexicans will be smart enough to discern right from wrong. There won't be as many sheeple.

Of course educating citizens will promote gender equality and helps empower girls and women, what are they thinking? How will Mexico cope with all that woke stuff going on??

This is what happens when your leader has a brain that works.
The Majority of the country knows Dominion Voting Systems rejected every fraudulent ballot from Donald Trump's supporters and reported the to FBI's department of Election Crimes and Security to have them become a felon, that cannot legally vote for committing the felony of voter fraud.
Every time the US says "we're going to raise the salary of teachers," they never cut administrative overhead of school districts to do this. Their first go-to is "we can get everyone to pay more taxes for schools" because everyone always does this and then complains about how high their taxes are.
Sometimes I think (if it HAD to be a choice) I would take less testing and increased discipline over a raise. Of course, I’m not getting either this year, so…
How about we don't eliminate Department of Education which funds all Special Education & Title I services and support for special needs students and their teachers?
Teachers are our heroes. The backbone of society. Clearly they go into the profession because they love kids, because it’s not for the $$. They’re grossly underpaid and under appreciated. They deserve our respect and every raise in pay they can get.
This retired educator thanks you for your sentiment. Although more money is always nice, I would have settled for K-12 'portability'. By this, I mean the ability to gain employment in a district based on my experience and expertise, with a commensurate salary instead of having to take a pay cut.
Yes!!!
I experienced this as well.
I live outside of Santa barbara California where you can’t afford rent on teachers salaries. Private schools are even lower. I went from 16 years in pay scale to 5 because my husband moved.
.......My sister spent YEARS getting her degree and certifications, and by some twisted sickening joke i make a better living in a factory. It isn't right. She deserves a career that she can live off of, not just get by on. WTF is wrong with those assholes in DC ?
My son has taught for 25 years in North Carolina, and his wife has worked 15 as a PT. I had to help them out 10 years ago when cc debt had them going under. He's doing ok now with a woodworking business that takes all his spare time.
Ppl need to wake up if they want better for their kids than they had. Paying 270,000 to MTG who does nothing is so upsetting. Maybe constituents should be the ones to decide what their congress ppl get paid. It will depend on their work..you know, like regular ppl who work. Our bosses decide.
It just feels hopeless sometimes. We voted to help our nation but got stuck with a congress who is just as useless as they were 200 years ago. I'm her big sister, im supposed to make the world better for her but I can't . It's so frustrating.
My teacher daughter, who has a Masters Degree, has not been able to afford a house. She’s 42 and has been awarded Teacher of the Year at one of her schools. She works diligently at coming up with innovative ways to present her lessons. And she cannot afford a small house or condo.
So nothing has changed about congress in 200 years. That makes sense that's why a group of baboons is called a congress sometimes. But at least baboons actually get shit done.
Please, please, dont believe everything you read. Check the context. Ask questions. Any politician can get good press, specially when there are no more critics around, and when all checks and controls to power have been brought to their knees.
They’re going to have to build a wall to keep U.S. teachers out after our public schools completely implode and roving hordes of unemployed teachers start trying to swim across the Rio Grande.
Perspective:
Average salary of teachers in #Canada = C$63,624
Average salary of teachers in #UnitedStates = US$63,000
MIT points to "living wage" in #UnitedStates = US$104,077 per year before taxes, whereas in #Canada it's noted as $70,000
Both need to increase teacher's salaries, imo.
I grew up in Canada.
All the years I went to school, I only had 3 teachers who were good teachers.
The rest were just putting in time.
The pay should not be the same for all teachers!
Pay should be judged by results!
In short, solution, imo, is this:
Double the number of teachers, giving them more time to create the right kinds of lessons, to improve curriculums, and to have the time and energy to assess students.
Do that and teacher performances can be rated on a scale.
Without this, they're being burned out.
Issues teachers face
1. Class sizes way too large
2. Inclusion = too many lesson plans per class for 1 teacher
3. Teachers create their own materials (drains energy & time)
4. Marking takes up a significant portion of their own time, which discourages numbers of assessments
5. Lack of parent support
10% is a good start. But if a teacher is only making $36k annual, that $3,600 raise will be wiped out almost immediately by inflation. There should also be a substantial annual raise to go along with that 10%. You know...like congress gives themselves.
We need to put way more focus and money into education. Pay teachers more. Give them more support. Free lunches for all students. That way, future generations will be smart enough not to let history repeat itself.
smart societies understand the difference between a successful society and unsuccessful society is educating the people, and teachers are the front line;
foolish societies think a successful societies begins and ends with oligarchs issuing proclamations, some of which sabotage education;
Actually not even that! Only lunches were from great parent groups that were amazing! They understand and appreciated our value! They did need a day to do that! They did it every time they saw us! Parents are in partnership with teachers! MAGA tries to undermine & destroy it!
So true! I am always amazed that the those that make 200k can hand me a coffee cup when after over31 years of service I only earn 60K before taxes & spend every penny on food & materials for my kids!
Teacher unions may seed a huge opportunity to push for a national wag increase after the pandemic! Parents finally realized how tough it is to teach their kids and would have supported it!
Retired teachers could also use this. Many must still work after retiring to live. I know so many former teachers who live on next to nothing and still have to work or sub.
It's like Mexico is getting in a positive direction by a component female leader while the US is going in a different direction with an idiot make leader
That article is just insulting and screeches of American exceptionalism. Maybe just more a panic piece because of how many left wing causes she champions.
From climate change to LGBTQIA+ rights. Such as eliminating gendered uniform policies in schools.
Wow!As a teacher who for years struggled to make ends meet, often buying student supplies out of my own funds, this is awesome.It's not just the 10% salary increase; it's more the recognition that teachers' contributions are valuable and necessary to the optimal functioning of a society. Great move!
She is an awesome president, fair, brilliant mind, she has integrity, loved by her people, respected by world leaders, and most importantly,
won’t be bullied by the Orange anti Christ…
I mean, the average starting teacher salary here in Mexico is 21 pesos. A 600ml coke costs about the same.
10% isn't nothing, but inflation is higher.
Teacher salaries should be doubled or tripled.
It's the right direction - though, since the ave HS teacher wage is $12K/yr ... Here, when I moved from IT to full time teaching in a college I took a 15% pay cut which took 10 yrs to catch up.
I love Mexico’s President, Ms. Sheinbaum. She is a master at dealing with Trump & she is making Mexico a better country unlike the American Republican Party who wants to destroy America. They need to get over themselves.
Claudia, the real reason the wall is up is to keep Americans out of Mexico!🇲🇽
And now he's worse. Shitler looks like shit. Like he's on something & is ab to pass out. His mind is fried from Adderall which is why he's incontinent. Honestly, Musk & DOG-E boys hacked the election tallies. That's what musk has over Shitler. Why he can go into our gov't & grab work for himself.
I'm gonna bet that there's a large fraction of DJT's neutronium-density base that have simply not acquired the skills that more education provides in order to think critically.
Putin had a good feel for what he could do to/with DJT from the early 2017, if not from reading the entrails of the 2016 campaign and researching DJT's earlier life and interest in a Moscow property.
He knew exactly what he was dealing with after the Helsinki chat.

That is parents fault. For probably 30 years, people have failed to teach their little darlings how to behave properly. My son’s teachers all said they wished they had a room full just like them. They behaved and always had their homework on time.
The world would be a much better place if all countries were run by women. I am also including my country South Africa 🇿🇦 where men in power have destroyed it through greed, thieving and unmitigated corruption!!
Whilst USA 🇺🇸 gets rid of the department of education and teachers pay more taxes than the billionaires 🤷🏿♀️. Now, as a person from a developing country, I am asking with tears in my eyes. What is so special about the USA 🇺🇸 in its current form?
With MAGAts at the helm, nothing is great except our democracy, our constitution & good ppl willing to fight to keep it. Shitler is weakening the US for Putin. Everything he does has just isolated us from all our allies, other countries we've always been friends with. It's ab Shitler now. Not good.
She is a good leader, investing in education. In America, our leaders want your children uneducated. Why else would tRump politize teachers and attack higher education. He wants your children to use as cannon fodder. The uneducated will destroy our country. Not everything is political.
She also gave them an extra week of vacation per year, and froze the retirement age, when Mexico was considering raising it (currently 56 for women, 58 for men). She said she wanted to give them a bigger raise than that 10%, too.
