    Best thing we can do to help the children is to pay teachers substantially more. Until then, things like this will keep happening.

      Well you sure as hell aren’t going to hear any arguments from me on that one. I think that’s the real story, here. That woman was making an embarrassingly small salary for her service. Missourians should be ashamed of themselves.

        Sadly, the low pay for teachers is pretty pervasive across the entire US. My first teaching job paid $36k per year in Wisconsin in 2013. Luckily, rent wasn’t quite so expensive back then, but it’s still an outrageously low income for what is expected from teachers. I don’t know a single teacher who either doesn’t have a second job or a spouse that makes quite a bit of money.
