The oppressed masses in the Rose Tree Media Education Association — the union the covers teachers, school nurses and guidance counselors in the Rose Tree Media School District — voted to strike Wednesday.
Obviously, the working conditions in the district must be horrible for these caring professionals to take the drastic step of harming a child’s education.
And they are! Consider the plight of Springton Lake Middle School physical education teacher Stephen Adams. His salary was $87,329 in 2009. And that was for 195 days grueling days of teaching gym class. Granted, he also gets benefits but can’t you understand why he might have to vote to hurt a child with working conditions such as that?
Or consider Indian Lane Elementary School teacher David Woods. He made a mere $95,817 in 2009. I weep for these people.
BTW, this link can give you the salaries of just about every public school teacher in Pennsylvania.
This one can give you the salaries of just about every public school teacher in New Jersey.
