US teachers ‘need to be paid more money’

American teachers should be paid more money due to their job’s difficulties and their hardships, according to a US political analyst.

“Teachers need to be paid more money,” Chief Editor of OccupyCorporatism Susanne Posel told Press TV on Wednesday.

“Teachers create the atmosphere for higher education. They make it interesting,” she added.

She made the comments after thousands of US teachers went on strike in Seattle, Washington to demand higher wages, smaller classes and more funding for public schools.

About 2,500 Seattle teachers took part in the strike on Tuesday, marking the largest one-day strike in a series of protests by educators in Washington state during the past week.
