I live in Oklahoma which cis supposed to be about number 49th in teacher salaries. I believe at my last recollection brand new teacher were starting out at about 29,000 a year. Now If Pattycakes and her husband are in fact teachers, and I do not mean of the Sunday School variety. Then they should be making at least 50,000 a year after 5 years in the profession. Teachers in our state do recieve yearly raises. They are not big ones but they are regular. Kind of like my annual 2% evaluation raise.
With the level of destitution that poor patty is complaining of I am thinking more like Teachers Aide.......
