  1. Full time pay for full time workers and part time pay for part time workers, salary sucks tho unless its extremely good pay, and you should be able to get fired if you are a poor quality teacher, altogether i think public schools are bad because of all this and as an institution is unconstitutional, this is our taxpayer money, the union and the government are greedy also more teachers molest children than preists, the only Union im part of is The United States of America. If you dont like something do it yourself and dont tax me, speak softly and carry a big stick.

  2. How did all these teachers get such large rear-ends if they can't afford to eat?

  3. LAUSD lost 270,000 students k-12 in the last 2 years which is almost $3 billion dollars in loss revenue to schools. Many stopped going to school, some went to private school and others home schooled.

  4. $25K a year huh, that is $12 an hour. I just looked at all the current job openings at LAUSD.

    The lowest per hour is $16.91 – $18.62 an hour for Bus Park Attendant.

    Sr. Tree Surgeon, custodial & ground operations, $29-$36 an hour

    Assist Photocopy technician, $19 – $23 an hour

    They want 23% pay raise for nonteachers and teachers to want 30% pay increase after this strike.

    Why not just raise everyone's taxes an additional 20% to help cover the schools budget since they have no money.

  5. Maybe the district should get the money from the LAPD budget. Education is far more valuable than police.

  6. Biden, The economy is strong

  7. 25k in LA is INSANE. Pay them!

  8. Morpheus told us. Andrew Tate defined it. I explained how and why to escape it. The people proved Morpheus right.

    Morpheus: some people are willing to die for the matrix
    Andrew Tate: the matrix is a 9-5 job that leads nowhere or something.
    Me: bro just shut down all the schools and hire chat gpt 4 to teach all of us and the more we are replaced by machines and move to a cashless society the more we will be free from the matrix and we can ask for what we really want instead of expecting it from a byproduct of something we dont really want to do anymore…
    The people: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

  9. Poor career choice + inflation = poverty

  10. It's not like those schools actually teach anything worthwhile.

  11. Kids don't need school anyhow, They're too busy with their social media likes, beating each other up and doing drugs.

  12. Get your kids out of American public schools…

  13. They want to be able to afford to live off part-time. The attitude of I want something for nothing is killing our country.

  14. California is the most illiterate State in America so good job since dummies require government parents and that's good for Socialism.

  15. Unions are truly horrible. They outlived her usefulness 50 years ago

  16. Kids are being left behind because your elected officials are garbage

  17. Drug test them net they one dope or drunk lunch servers all they do is re heat food and its sloppy at best custodians the have brooms and mops they act like they sweat lol how can a person demand more money ??? With out more credentials clown ??? They only work there because its eazy money lausd workers don't work get federal workers fire the ones on strike and replace them

  18. Disney character panties are the most cutest and comfortable kind of panties to wear bgvt

  19. Ahhhhh!!!! Whose going to indoctrinate CRT/ WOKEism on the little Cal-Tech hopefuls?😅

  20. You know if they didn't fill classes with illegals you would have enough teachers. I don't know if California is the next Mexico or middle east. 🤷

  21. really 25,000 a year in LA. Can you even make rent for that? Forget a mortgage. P A Y T H E M !

  22. Every city should do this at once

  23. LA commie voters get what they voted for…lol

  24. $25k/year for people watching out for my kids? Why not just get prisoners to work in the vicinity of children? It'll certainly be a cheaper option if money is all you care about.

  25. Nicki Minaj is the Queen of Rap

  26. in all fairness – i was shocked to find out that cali school employees were paid minimum wage – and for only a few hours/day – it's not worth the commute ..

  27. Quit paying the board members and principals 6 figure salaries and pay the actual teachers more money. Give the damn board the 25k a year. They aren't in the classrooms doing the actual work.

  28. Good for the cafeteria workers. I was a cafeteria lady for years. I loved my job.

  29. I’m understanding why they have a homeless problem. $25k???

  30. Less time indoctrinating children into the Liberal Cult. Got to be a good thing.

  31. More money as you're kids suffers, home school is the best, keep your kids out of this mess😢

  32. Good for them. American workers need to know their worth and demand it against the government and corporate greed.

  33. Better for the kids NOT to be in those awful schools. Stay on strike indefinitely!

  34. Pay workers a livable wage! $25,000 a year in LA is disgusting

  35. Stick it to the man, Cali!

  36. Republican Party is. Domestic terrorist cell. They. Will. Cut. Veterans. Benefits.
