congressman charlie rangel may soon have plenty of time to fall asleep on the beach as he s in this infamous new york post cover. a new york state senator is collecting signatures to challenge rang rangel and his house seat. the broncos introducing peyton as their new quarterback and the new york jets now hoping to talk to tim tebow. that s the sports and the news, juliet. thank you very much, sir. all right, parents want to know why two special education teachers in deer park, texas, were not fired after one was accused of mocking and spraying an autistic student in the face with water and the other teacher failed to reported it. instead of firing the teachers, the school district reassigned them to another classroom. those teachers have since resigned but parents say it s not enough. sherry and kevin graham say their 13-year-old autistic son preston graham was violated by these teachers.
well, it s been embarrassing as i think back to my own years as a youngster. mrs. peterson, wonderful teacher. mr. holm, mr. holstead. they were paid near poverty. now the median wage is $47,000 to 51,000. the top can learn 75 to 80. do we need to change the numbers? we do need to change the numbers. we need to pay the teachers more and i would argue pay great teachers more on top of that. where you have teachers making a phenomenal difference in students lives. where you have teachers volunteering to work in inner city, rural urban communities. the president challenged us to add 10,000 new math and science teachers over the next two years. math and science teachers, special education teachers. they should be paid more. we have to be much more creative. if we want better results, we have to do things very, very differently.
