1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,960
But really, the teachers that I talk to that
have

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:06,240
left the profession aren't so much leaving it
over pay.

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,400
They're leaving it over discipline issues.

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,760
Those classroom environments are a better,
safer place for learning.

5
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:13,840
I think someone down there said I want a
$1,400

6
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:15,840
increase to the basic allotment.

7
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,160
Do you guys understand how much that costs?

8
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:22,160
$800 million for a $100 increase to the basic
allotment.

9
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,080
That's a lot.

10
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:25,680
Thank you very much.

11
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,920
Well, first of all, let me start by saying
that

12
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,360
sounds serious, Mr.

13
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,000
That sounds serious.

14
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,240
My daughter was a DIS teacher for three years.

15
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:37,920
It's totally simple.

16
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,040
When dad has to help her with her rent, that's

17
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:42,560
a problem.

18
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,800
She never told me about the kids that were
acting

19
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:45,520
up in class.

20
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,760
She only called me about dad.

21
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:53,200
I can't keep doing this.

22
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,200
I can tell your values by what you fund.

23
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,880
When you begin to value your teachers, you go
pay

24
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,000
them.

25
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,720
And as long as you don't value your teachers,
you

26
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:05,760
won't.

27
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,760
Period.

28
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,200
It's just that simple.

29
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,040
This is not complicated.

30
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,840
27 billion, as a matter of fact, is what I

31
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,600
was just looking at here.

32
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,480
27 million, according to this number, which
you can ask

33
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:19,920
them with my tomorrow.

34
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,360
But really simple.

35
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,320
This is easy, guys.

36
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:27,920
It must be a priority.

37
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:28,880
Yes, ma'am.

38
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:30,000
I'm sorry.
