There has been a lot of talk lately about Oklahoma teachers having to choose between educating the children of our state and making enough money to live. I don’t know why teachers are complaining so much about being broke when Arby’s is offering half-price meals for them all summer.
Then again, maybe they are complaining because the starting annual salary for Oklahoma teachers is $31,600 when they often have to personally fund a lot of their classroom materials. Jeeze. No wonder Mr. Black never had any cool foil stickers to give out after our history tests. It is because of the education-funding crisis that my notebook was covered with stickers that lost their adhesive after a week.
