So much media covers teacher pay, testing, and class sizes. All those things are worth talking about, but the greatest concern and the area where government is failing our teachers is in their Healthcare. Ridiculous premiums that take out huge portions of our pay (especially for teachers with kids). The worst part is despite paying 700 dollars per month...when I go to the doctor, it feels like nothing is covered. Ridiculous. Texas should do better to make sure teachers and their families can stay healthy.
