But really, the teachers that I talk to that have left the profession aren't so much leaving it over pay. They're leaving it over discipline issues. Those classroom environments are a better, safer place for learning. I think someone down there said I want a $1,400 increase to the basic allotment. Do you guys understand how much that costs? $800 million for a $100 increase to the basic allotment.
That's a lot. Thank you very much. Well, first of all, let me start by saying that sounds serious, Mr. That sounds serious. My daughter was a DIS teacher for three years. It's totally simple. When dad has to help her with her rent, that's
a problem. She never told me about the kids that were acting up in class. She only called me about dad. I can't keep doing this. I can tell your values by what you fund. When you begin to value your teachers, you go pay them.
And as long as you don't value your teachers, you won't. Period. It's just that simple. This is not complicated. 27 billion, as a matter of fact, is what I was just looking at here. 27 million, according to this number, which you can ask
them with my tomorrow. But really simple. This is easy, guys. It must be a priority. Yes, ma'am. I'm sorry.
