What Teachers Make

If we are going to improve our system of education, then we need to start treating our teachers like professionals and paying them accordingly.  In the meantime, here's a great piece of slam poetry by Taylor Mali dealing with the question of "what teachers make."


"I make them realize that if you've got this (indicates mind), then you follow this (indicates heart) and if somebody ever tries to judge you based on what you make then you give them this (the finger)...  Teachers make a goddamn difference.  And what about you?"
