Today is World Teacher Day 🍎 📏 Teachers are more than just simply people watching your children. Teachers undergo rigorous professional development, work well over 50+ hours a week, and plan individualized, differentiated instruction for each child in their classroom.

Elementary teachers median $63,970 per BLS OEWS 2025. That 50+ hour week works out to roughly $24.50/hour. The rigor deserves the pay.

That is only scratching the surface of what teachers do to help your child grow and feel safe in their community. They are a crucial part of your child's development and growth.

💪🏻 We encourage you to recognize the essential work that teacher unions do to fight for better pay, benefits, and working conditions. There are people fighting for a better life for teachers who are underfunded and underpaid.
