Is this degrading to teachers??

People being outraged by this are dumb.

1. These people volunteered to participate.
2. School has been going on for months now, this would make it just extra (unplanned) money for their classrooms.
3. The team and sponsors could have not held the event and given the teachers (and schools) nothing.

Instead of libs crying about it, just call it what it is, “hey want to do this dumb game and make your students an extra couple bucks?”
 
Degrading….I don’t think so. They aren’t being forced to it.

I see this more as indicative of the dire straights teachers are left in in the classroom. And this is after parents spend a whole bunch at the start of the year to stock a supply list.

In that case….it’s most telling in any degrading fashion for the schools and districts that keep pulling budget back. Your teachers are literally groveling for money for the classroom because you all suck.
 
Unless you can produce evidence of them being forced to do this not degrading

my hope is that this is just for show and each of the teachers got equal donated money from the hockey team...

but it does look like fun...

it sucks that they can't just get the additional money from the school system...but I forget how classroom money works and whether that comes out of their own pockets...I remember hearing that before.

Depends on the zip code. Some teachers have to beg borrow and steal for classroom supplies. Other places teachers have pretty much anything they need

so...is this degrading if they fall into the "beg, borrow, and steal" zip code?

I don't think its degrading in either sense. Unless someone can confirm these teachers were required to do this, it appears to be a fun activity that gives them some additional resources

I agree...I hope they donated the same amount to each teacher in the end

In FL (one of the worse ranked states for education perennially) the zip code does show a break out, but the more apt determinant is standardized testing scores.

Though they’ve promised to fix inequities (I’ve not seen it) these tests determine teachers future employment status and the amount of funds the school gets. Score worse as a school you get less.

It’s all such a mess now and I see the younger kids getting layered with more and more of these standard tests every year. Any wonder my college age girls didn’t learn where to find most states/countries on a map, or basic economics until college.
