Salaries worry
teachers, students
TEACHERS from page 1
because he likes living here.
Not all teachers seem as dedicat
ed.
According to the NSEA, 25 per
cent of UNL’s Teachers College grad
uates last year did not go into teach
ing.
The January 2000 Education
Week magazine said fewer than half
of college graduates who are eligible
for teaching certificates ever pursue
a teaching career.
Hoffman said she will stick with
the profession, though, even if her
salary is small.
The sophomore education major
will graduate from the Teachers
College in May 2002 and wants to
teach second or third grade.
Right now, Hoffman participates
in a practicum where she helps a spe
cial education teacher at Brownell
Elementary School.
Within the first three weeks of
school, Hoffman said her sponsoring
teacher already had spent the $ 150
budget given to her by Lincoln
Public Schools for supplies.
After that, Hoffman said, the
teacher used her own personal
money to buy supplies for the class
room.
Hoffman has even chipped in
some of her own money.
“You’re always buying things,”
Hoffman said. “We spend so much
money to improve our teaching.

There’s things people don’t realize
are important in education, and we
want to give students as many oppor
tunities as we can.”
Something needs to be done
about the pay teachers receive and
the budgets they are given, Hoffman
said.
“It’s really sad we’re losing expe
rienced people because we can’t pay
them,” she said. “It’s frustrating (for
teachers) because you love what you
do, but you don’t get respect for
doing it.”
Jane Walford is one of those frus
trated teachers.
Walford has taught social studies
at Tekamah-Herman High School in
Tekamah for 14 years.
When she started in 1986, she
said she made $12,000 a year.
Today, Walford admittedly
makes more than that, but she said it
was still not enough to support a
family.
“My husband teaches, too, and
with two incomes we should be able
to afford a bigger house,” Walford
said. “But we can’t.
“We will absolutely lose teachers
if they are not paid more.”
Hoffman said low teacher
salaries just doesn’t make sense.
“It’s ridiculous that we’re the
ones educating doctors, lawyers and
physicists,” she said. “Yet they’re the
ones making all the money. Without
us, you wouldn’t have those people
at all.”
GOP field
tightens in
Senate race
MOORE from page \
won’t be open for a longtime.”
Former Gov. Ben Nelson, seen as
the GOP’s only formidable opponent,
is not invincible, Sigerson said.
“His invincibility was punctured
after he lost the Senate race in 1996,”
Sigerson said.
Nelson has not announced yet
whether he intends to enter the race.
After serving two terms in the
Nebraska Legislature, as well as being
the secretary of state, Moore said he is
ready to take his experience to the
Senate.
With five people in the race and
more potential candidates looming on
the sidelines, Moore said the race to the
May 9 primary could get personal.
“Any campaign can get emotion
al,” he said. “But whoever emerges
from the primary is going to emerge
and be prepared for November.”
