  The Teacher's Pay Conversations Project 

...conversations about teacher's salaries.

For decades we have been paying teachers less than skilled laborers. We consider the services of plumbers and electricians to be of more value than those of teachers. What's at the root of this inequity? Given that a teacher's salary is an acknowledgment one can't help but wonder if there is a correlation between the way we acknowledge teachers (compared with carpenters and longshoremen) and our experience of love, health, and prosperity (a sustainable economy).

We see by the results that there has been an unacknowledged conspiracy to keep teachers pathetically begging for salaries, supplies, and building maintenance funds. What have we been trying to communicate by subjecting our mentors to this humiliating abusive treatment?

Are there conversations that could effect financial parity between longshoremen and teachers?

The Teacher's Pay Conversations Project supports everyone in acknowledging his/her intentions clearly and responsibly. It's important to know that how one communicates, even nonverbally, makes a difference.
