New polling finds that 69% of Americans think that public school teachers are not paid fairly - and that 86% of teachers purchase school supplies with their own money.
, the polling also found that the vast majority of K-12 public school teachers are not only devoting their personal time to helping students , but also purchasing school supplies with their own money . Both of these proportions rose since a similar poll was last conducted in 2018, when 69 percent of teachers reported working outside of work hours and 78 percent used their own money for supplies.
“It is simply unacceptable that, in the richest country in the history of the world, many teachers are having to work two or three extra jobs just to make ends meet,” Sanders said at the time. Indeed, the/Ipsos poll found that 35 percent of teachers report having to work a second job to make ends meet within the last year.
