A massive five alarm fire three downtown buildings took hours
for firefighters to extinguish. Yesterday, becaused one of the buildings
to collapse. Two other buildings were severely damaged, apparently vacant buildings.
An investigation is underway. Thankfully, no one was injured. More
than one hundred people battled those flames. It was between
(00:40):
North Howard and Fayette Street. Yesterday, President Trump had a
big announcement at the White House, revealed his plan to
relocate US Space Command from Colorado Springs to Huntsville, Alabama.
He made several remarks about his reasoning for moving it
to Alabama and appear to suggest that he's doing it
to reward a state that overwhelmingly sported him and punished
(01:01):
a state that did not. Defense officials have said that
such a move could cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of
dollars in take up to four years to complete. He
also mentioned that Chicago and Baltimore are getting National Guard
troops sent in whether we or they like it or not. Meanwhile,
a judge ruled that the use of the National Guard
(01:21):
in the LA protests was illegal. Governor Wes Moore and
his wife took a trip to Italy to celebrate her
birthday and were spotted on George Clooney's boat. I want
to hear all about that. I wonder if West will
give us a call when he gets back in town.

The company has announced it's going to split into two
(01:42):
separate companies, ten years after the brands merged to create
one company, the biggest food company in the world.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Wonder what happened there?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Seems like a pretty big divorce. Scooter Braun you remember
that name because he's the one that like kind of
took Taylor Swift's catalog and bought it out from underneath
her or whatever. Well, now he's dating Sidney Sweeney officially.
The two met at Jeff Bezos's wedding in June. I
(02:13):
guess she was flirting with several boys at the wedding
and decided that Scooter was the one she wanted to
see long term and a win Tour has named Chloe mall.
Speaker 3 (02:22):

clean their sofaever.

Started a massive five alarm fire of three downtown buildings.
Took hours from firefighters who extinguished yesterday. Caused one of
the buildings to collapse and two other buildings were severely damaged. Thankfully,
no one was injured in the more than one hundred
people who battled the flames. It was on North Howard
and Fayette Street. The buildings were vacant. Investigation is underway.
(13:56):
President Trump teas day big announcement yesterday the White House
and revealed his plans to relocate US Space Command from
Colorado Springs to Huntsville, Alabama. He made several remarks about
his reasoning. He suggested he's doing it to reward a
state that overwhelmingly supported him and his three presidential campaigns,
(14:19):
while punishing a state that opposed him. Defense officials said
that a move that that move will cost taxpayers hundreds
of millions of dollars and take three to four years
to complete. He also mentioned that Chicago and Baltimore are
getting National Guard troops sent in whether they or we
like it or not. Meanwhile, a judge ruled that the
use of the National Guard in the LA protests was illegal.
(14:42):
Governor Wes Moore and his wife were spotted on George
Cuney's boat during her birthday trip to Italy. Craft Heintz
has announced it's splitting into two separate companies, ten years
after the brands merged.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
To create one of the biggest food companies in the world.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
That's interesting. I'd like to know more about that story.
Scooter bron as if he couldn't make people more mad,
he's dating Sidney Sweeney. Officially.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
The two sparked rumors in June when they were spotted
together at the wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez,
but Sidney was also seen mingling with Tom Brady and
Orlando Bloom at the same wedding.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Looks like Scooter's the only one she's seen since. Anna
Wintour has named Chloe mal As the new editor of Vogue.
I guess that is Candice Bergen's daughter from Murphy Brown,
if you remember that. So that's a little bit of
a taste of what's going on in the world. Of course,
(15:44):
if you have anything to add, I'd love to hear
about it.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Ninety three point one WPOC traffic. I got love Michael
Jay's Music City Mine in sixty seconds. You don't know
like you own music Row.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Yeah, Hey guys, it's Bethany. Michael will be back tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
In the meantime, I'll cover duties on the Music City
minutes Post. Malone launched his fashion brand, Austin Post with
a runway show in Paris on Monday. The collection, called
Season One at First Light, features Western inspired clothing with
cowboy staples like Denham fringe jackets, cowboy hats, large bell buckles,
(16:25):
you know the drill. The show took place at a
mansion once owned by Carl Lagerfeld, and it ended with
a dramatic finale where a model rode a horse down
the runway. I clicked on it expecting not to like it,
but I loved it. I thought it was really cute,
lots of really cute designs. Not Cute's not the right word.
(16:48):
Sexy cowboy is more the word. The collection includes denim
sets with gold star designs, velvet jackets, and boots made
with lou Casey bootmaker. Post Malone isrently on his world
tour and he's gonna showcase his new fashion collection in
New York UH later this month with the Foundation Collection,
(17:08):
which will be based on his personal wardrobe. So if
you like the way post Malone dresses, soon you'll be
able to dress just like him, which is cool. I
on the runway, he had like a lot of formal
looking tops with like sweatpants on the bottom, and I
was like, now.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
This this I can get behind. There's your music City minute.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Ninety three point one WPOC traffic.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
All right, so a situation on the outer loop at
Reiserstown Road and then seven ninety five headed to the
outer loop.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
It looks like we're backed up in both directions. Everyone's
just sort of sitting there.
Speaker 5 (17:44):
From what I can.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
She captain?
Speaker 2 (17:51):
All right, teachers, I need your help on this one
seven to seven nine six two. Begin your message with
high or hey or eight hundred three two thirty six
ninety three. I know we have a of teachers who listen,
so I really want you to weigh in on this.
But first, an update on the six ninety five situation.
It looks like the outer loop at Riserstown Road and
seven ninety five headed to the outer loop both backed
(18:14):
up right now, and I was just wondering what's going on.
Someone texted, definitely it's road construction, and they closed three lanes.
But when I just went through it a few minutes ago,
they were opening the lanes back up, so it should
start to clear. But it's really bad right now before
six ninety five or before seven ninety five, all the
way up to Liberty Road. So hopefully that's starting to
(18:34):
clear up as we speak. Okay, teachers, here's what I
want to know. I read an article all about how
much teachers have to spend on their own classrooms, and
it was all over the country, so I think I
think the numbers are wildly different and very interesting. And
then I was wondering, here in our area, how different
(18:54):
is the budget.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
So if you're a.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Teacher, let me know what school you teach at or
what town you teach at, whatever you're comfortable sharing, and
what your budget is on how much you spend for
back to school? Okay, John, who is a teacher middle
school in California, says he spends between one hundred and
four hundred dollars every year on back to school for
his classroom out of his personal budget. He said when
(19:19):
he first started teaching, he had to spend between five
hundred and one thousand dollars just to get everything all
set up.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Interesting.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Brandon, who is a third grade teacher in Texas, spends
about two thousand dollars on his classroom decor and supplies
every year.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Two thousand dollars. That's a solid chunk of money. Uh.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Tatiana, who is a teacher in Texas, says that she
spends between three hundred and five hundred dollars a year
on supplies and decorations. She's a third grade teacher. There's
a woman named Carrie who teaches in Alabama. She's been
teaching for eighteen years. She spends one thousand dollars ish
every year on her back to school budget. Now, this
(20:00):
is for like decorations, supplies, extra books, extra you know,
like stools they're saying, like little carpets for their room
and stuff like that. Kara, who teaches fourth grade in
New Jersey, says that she gets a three hundred dollars
budget and doesn't have to spend much of her own
(20:21):
money at all. In New Jersey, Okay, Melissa, who is
an elementary school teacher in Missouri. She says she spends
about two hundred dollars a year now, but when she
first started, she had to spend about one thousand just
to get everything up and running. She says she likes
to teach a music class, so she's got rhythmsticks and
(20:41):
headphones and mallets and that kind of stuff. And then Jenny,
who teaches an Illinois She gets a budget now, but
when she first started she didn't, and she spent about
two hundred dollars a year. Very interesting. The text are
starting to come in. Someone says, Carol County, I spend
between five hundred and thousand dollars every year. Someone said,
(21:02):
Anne Arundo County, I spend seven hundred dollars a year.
These are teachers I want to keep hearing from you.
Guys seven seven nine six two. Begin your message with
high or hey, let me know where you're teaching and
how much you're spending, just because I feel like I
in theory. I know the teachers do that, but I
don't know how much or what the impact is, So
you know, let's talk about it. Thomas Rhett right now,
(21:24):
after all the bars are closed on ninety three point
one WPOC, Good.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Morning, after all the bars all the bars co ninety
three point one WPOC, Good morning. It's Bethany. Michael Jay's
back tomorrow. So we I saw this.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Huffington Post article about teachers and how much across the
country how much they spend in their classrooms. Uh, and
I didn't see anybody from Maryland in there. And I
also just wondered locally how much teachers are spending in
their classrooms for back to school. I know we have
a lot of teachers who listen, so I want to
hear from all of you. If you're willing to share
(22:04):
seven seven nine sixes too, begin your message with hi
or hey, how much are you spending? Where do you teach?
Someone said there is no budget for teachers in Howard County.
All teachers have to spend their own money for anything
they want to make their room more welcoming. Soone said,
good morning, Bethany. I'm a teacher in Baltimore County. I
have been for twenty six years. The amount I spend
(22:26):
every year varies based on what I want or need
for my classroom. This year, I spent about five hundred dollars.
Most years it's about two hundred dollars. Wow, I'm just
fascinated by this. A lot of other industries, sometimes you
have to spend money in order to come to work,
but often you don't. So this is fascinating to me.
I have a couple of more follow up questions. Does
(22:48):
the administration expect you to be doing this?
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Could you just.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
In theory, could you just spend nothing and still come
to work and do a good job, or is it
sort of a necessity? And or how much are parents helping?
Do you expect the parents to help? You know these
kind of questions I have. I'm just this is this
whole thing is quite fascinating to me. I know that
everybody I feel like as a parent, I know that
teachers do this. I know that sometimes there's a wish list,
(23:18):
sometimes there's like an Amazon thing going on, or whatever.
You know, just let's talk about it. Let's get into it.
Seven to seven nine six two. Begin your message with
higher Haye, or you can call me eight hundred three
six ninety three.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
So what's going on out there for you all teachers.
You know, there's a lot of back to school happenings
this week, so let your voices be heard. In the meantime.
It's Billy Currington right now. Walm One is a mystery.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Man.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Just can on this thing.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
And these bar in these barn Jordan Davis's new one.
It's called bar None a ninety three POINTWPOC. Good morning,
It's Bethany Michael j will.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Be back tomorrow. We're talking about teachers.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
It's back to school week and a lot of teachers
have to spend money out of their own pocket. And
I have a lot of questions about it. Who are you,
where are you from? How much are you spending? I'm
wondering if you have support from administration? Is this an
expectation that you spend money? Are the parents helping?
Speaker 5 (24:24):
You know?
Speaker 3 (24:24):
I just have a lot of questions about this.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
I saw an article in huff Post all about how
much teachers are spending all across the country.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Only one state seemed to have.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
A big enough budget to cover these classroom materials. Christa
on the Tech said, I'm not a teacher, but I
want to thank all the teachers totally not appreciated enough
and certainly not paid enough.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
You're the true heroes out there. You're appreciated.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Someone said, Bethany, great question. You asked what I was wondering.
Who is asking the teachers to spend their own money?
If the administration is not asking them to do that,
then why would they want to spend their own money
and come out of pocket and not get reimbursed. Someone said, hey, Ethany,
if I didn't put any money into my classroom, there
would be no books for my students to read. Becca
(25:09):
is a phized teacher in Baltimore County. She says, we
do get a budget, but we all need to share,
so I end up purchasing my own supplies or equipment
that I use for specific lessons I want to teach.
This allows our students to have a variety of activities
instead of the same old sports stuff that most schools
teach their students. Okay, so it seems like you might
(25:30):
get some budget, but if you want, you know, a variety,
and I think as parents we do want that for
our kids. Some people have to buy snacks. Looks like
I teach an inane Rental County. I spend your one
thousand dollars plus refills of snacks. The art teachers nailed,
though expected to provide banners, murals, et cetera for every
(25:51):
event in department without compensation, and their budget is small enough.
Oh that's interesting, Good morning.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Are you a teacher.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
I'm a teacher in Anarundo County, and I said about
like between two to five hundred every year in my classroom.
And they do give us a budget, but in order
to like make your room one and welcoming, they don't
butt you buy those kind of things. So, and it
is an expectation. So it's kind of like a two
(26:21):
way battle because we can't give us some money, but
it's only for students school supplies, and to make your
room welcoming you have to kind of put out the
rest of the money.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
To do that.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
It's yeah, it's they want you to do it, but
they don't give you enough to do it.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
Yeah, Like they'll give you like the basic supplies, but
I mean it's it make your room look like it's
in the nineteen seventies, So a lot of teachers aren't.
They want to make it look nicer than that, right,
And then like parents, it really depends on the area
like I used to cheat in Glenburnie and Anne around
the county and there I have a little bit less
(26:56):
parents support almost none some years, and then in past
and I have more support than I was aware I
could possibly get. So it really depends on the type
of students to teach.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Too interesting, all right, very that's that was very informative.
Thank you. I appreciate you spilling the tea out for us.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
Thanks, you're welcome. I hope you have a great day.

A massive five alarm fire three downtown buildings took hours
for firefighters to extinguish. Yesterday, becaused one of the buildings
to collapse. Two other buildings were severely damaged, apparently vacant buildings.
An investigation is underway. Thankfully, no one was injured. More
than one hundred people battled those flames. It was between
(00:40):
North Howard and Fayette Street. Yesterday, President Trump had a
big announcement at the White House, revealed his plan to
relocate US Space Command from Colorado Springs to Huntsville, Alabama.
He made several remarks about his reasoning for moving it
to Alabama and appear to suggest that he's doing it
to reward a state that overwhelmingly sported him and punished
(01:01):
a state that did not. Defense officials have said that
such a move could cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of
dollars in take up to four years to complete. He
also mentioned that Chicago and Baltimore are getting National Guard
troops sent in whether we or they like it or not. Meanwhile,
a judge ruled that the use of the National Guard
(01:21):
in the LA protests was illegal. Governor Wes Moore and
his wife took a trip to Italy to celebrate her
birthday and were spotted on George Clooney's boat. I want
to hear all about that. I wonder if West will
give us a call when he gets back in town.
I just want to hear how that was Kraft Heintz.
The company has announced it's going to split into two
(01:42):
separate companies, ten years after the brands merged to create
one company, the biggest food company in the world.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Wonder what happened there?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Seems like a pretty big divorce. Scooter Braun you remember
that name because he's the one that like kind of
took Taylor Swift's catalog and bought it out from underneath
her or whatever. Well, now he's dating Sidney Sweeney officially.
The two met at Jeff Bezos's wedding in June. I
(02:13):
guess she was flirting with several boys at the wedding
and decided that Scooter was the one she wanted to
see long term and a win Tour has named Chloe mall.

watching TV. A third of us surveyed say that we
can't imagine going a day without our happy place, our sofa,
But only half of the people surveyed say that they
clean their sofaever.

President Trump teas day big announcement yesterday the White House

Governor Wes Moore and his wife were spotted on George

To create one of the biggest food companies in the world.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
That's interesting. I'd like to know more about that story.
Scooter bron as if he couldn't make people more mad,
he's dating Sidney Sweeney. Officially.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
The two sparked rumors in June when they were spotted
together at the wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez,
but Sidney was also seen mingling with Tom Brady and
Orlando Bloom at the same wedding.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Looks like Scooter's the only one she's seen since. Anna
Wintour has named Chloe mal As the new editor of Vogue.
I guess that is Candice Bergen's daughter from Murphy Brown,
if you remember that. So that's a little bit of
a taste of what's going on in the world. Of course,

if you have anything to add, I'd love to hear
about it.

Speaker 3 (15:58):
Yeah, Hey guys, it's Bethany. Michael will be back tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
In the meantime, I'll cover duties on the Music City
minutes Post. Malone launched his fashion brand, Austin Post with
a runway show in Paris on Monday. The collection, called
Season One at First Light, features Western inspired clothing with
cowboy staples like Denham fringe jackets, cowboy hats, large bell buckles,
(16:25):
you know the drill. The show took place at a
mansion once owned by Carl Lagerfeld, and it ended with
a dramatic finale where a model rode a horse down
the runway. I clicked on it expecting not to like it,
but I loved it. I thought it was really cute,
lots of really cute designs. Not Cute's not the right word.
(16:48):
Sexy cowboy is more the word. The collection includes denim
sets with gold star designs, velvet jackets, and boots made
with lou Casey bootmaker. Post Malone isrently on his world
tour and he's gonna showcase his new fashion collection in
New York UH later this month with the Foundation Collection,
(17:08):
which will be based on his personal wardrobe. So if
you like the way post Malone dresses, soon you'll be
able to dress just like him, which is cool. I
on the runway, he had like a lot of formal
looking tops with like sweatpants on the bottom, and I
was like, now.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
This this I can get behind. There's your music City minute.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Ninety three point one WPOC traffic.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
All right, so a situation on the outer loop at
Reiserstown Road and then seven ninety five headed to the
outer loop.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
It looks like we're backed up in both directions. Everyone's
just sort of sitting there.
Speaker 5 (17:44):
From what I can.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
She captain?
Speaker 2 (17:51):
All right, teachers, I need your help on this one
seven to seven nine six two. Begin your message with
high or hey or eight hundred three two thirty six
ninety three. I know we have a of teachers who listen,
so I really want you to weigh in on this.
But first, an update on the six ninety five situation.
It looks like the outer loop at Riserstown Road and
seven ninety five headed to the outer loop both backed
(18:14):
up right now, and I was just wondering what's going on.
Someone texted, definitely it's road construction, and they closed three lanes.
But when I just went through it a few minutes ago,
they were opening the lanes back up, so it should
start to clear. But it's really bad right now before
six ninety five or before seven ninety five, all the
way up to Liberty Road. So hopefully that's starting to
(18:34):
clear up as we speak. Okay, teachers, here's what I
want to know. I read an article all about how
much teachers have to spend on their own classrooms, and
it was all over the country, so I think I
think the numbers are wildly different and very interesting. And
then I was wondering, here in our area, how different
(18:54):
is the budget.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
So if you're a.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Teacher, let me know what school you teach at or
what town you teach at, whatever you're comfortable sharing, and
what your budget is on how much you spend for
back to school? Okay, John, who is a teacher middle
school in California, says he spends between one hundred and
four hundred dollars every year on back to school for
his classroom out of his personal budget. He said when
(19:19):
he first started teaching, he had to spend between five
hundred and one thousand dollars just to get everything all
set up.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Interesting.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Brandon, who is a third grade teacher in Texas, spends
about two thousand dollars on his classroom decor and supplies
every year.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Two thousand dollars. That's a solid chunk of money. Uh.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Tatiana, who is a teacher in Texas, says that she
spends between three hundred and five hundred dollars a year
on supplies and decorations. She's a third grade teacher. There's
a woman named Carrie who teaches in Alabama. She's been
teaching for eighteen years. She spends one thousand dollars ish
every year on her back to school budget. Now, this
(20:00):
is for like decorations, supplies, extra books, extra you know,
like stools they're saying, like little carpets for their room
and stuff like that. Kara, who teaches fourth grade in
New Jersey, says that she gets a three hundred dollars
budget and doesn't have to spend much of her own
(20:21):
money at all. In New Jersey, Okay, Melissa, who is
an elementary school teacher in Missouri. She says she spends
about two hundred dollars a year now, but when she
first started, she had to spend about one thousand just
to get everything up and running. She says she likes
to teach a music class, so she's got rhythmsticks and
(20:41):
headphones and mallets and that kind of stuff. And then Jenny,
who teaches an Illinois She gets a budget now, but
when she first started she didn't, and she spent about
two hundred dollars a year. Very interesting. The text are
starting to come in. Someone says, Carol County, I spend
between five hundred and thousand dollars every year. Someone said,
(21:02):
Anne Arundo County, I spend seven hundred dollars a year.
These are teachers I want to keep hearing from you.
Guys seven seven nine six two. Begin your message with
high or hey, let me know where you're teaching and
how much you're spending, just because I feel like I
in theory. I know the teachers do that, but I
don't know how much or what the impact is, So
you know, let's talk about it. Thomas Rhett right now,
(21:24):
after all the bars are closed on ninety three point
one WPOC, Good.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Morning, after all the bars all the bars co ninety
three point one WPOC, Good morning. It's Bethany. Michael Jay's
back tomorrow. So we I saw this.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Huffington Post article about teachers and how much across the
country how much they spend in their classrooms. Uh, and
I didn't see anybody from Maryland in there. And I
also just wondered locally how much teachers are spending in
their classrooms for back to school. I know we have
a lot of teachers who listen, so I want to
hear from all of you. If you're willing to share
(22:04):
seven seven nine sixes too, begin your message with hi
or hey, how much are you spending? Where do you teach?
Someone said there is no budget for teachers in Howard County.
All teachers have to spend their own money for anything
they want to make their room more welcoming. Soone said,
good morning, Bethany. I'm a teacher in Baltimore County. I
have been for twenty six years. The amount I spend
(22:26):
every year varies based on what I want or need
for my classroom. This year, I spent about five hundred dollars.
Most years it's about two hundred dollars. Wow, I'm just
fascinated by this. A lot of other industries, sometimes you
have to spend money in order to come to work,
but often you don't. So this is fascinating to me.
I have a couple of more follow up questions. Does
(22:48):
the administration expect you to be doing this?
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Could you just.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
In theory, could you just spend nothing and still come
to work and do a good job, or is it
sort of a necessity? And or how much are parents helping?
Do you expect the parents to help? You know these
kind of questions I have. I'm just this is this
whole thing is quite fascinating to me. I know that
everybody I feel like as a parent, I know that
teachers do this. I know that sometimes there's a wish list,
(23:18):
sometimes there's like an Amazon thing going on, or whatever.
You know, just let's talk about it. Let's get into it.
Seven to seven nine six two. Begin your message with
higher Haye, or you can call me eight hundred three
six ninety three.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
So what's going on out there for you all teachers.
You know, there's a lot of back to school happenings
this week, so let your voices be heard. In the meantime.
It's Billy Currington right now. Walm One is a mystery.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Man.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Just can on this thing.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
And these bar in these barn Jordan Davis's new one.
It's called bar None a ninety three POINTWPOC. Good morning,
It's Bethany Michael j will.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Be back tomorrow. We're talking about teachers.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
It's back to school week and a lot of teachers
have to spend money out of their own pocket. And
I have a lot of questions about it. Who are you,
where are you from? How much are you spending? I'm
wondering if you have support from administration? Is this an
expectation that you spend money? Are the parents helping?
Speaker 5 (24:24):
You know?
Speaker 3 (24:24):
I just have a lot of questions about this.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
I saw an article in huff Post all about how
much teachers are spending all across the country.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Only one state seemed to have.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
A big enough budget to cover these classroom materials. Christa
on the Tech said, I'm not a teacher, but I
want to thank all the teachers totally not appreciated enough
and certainly not paid enough.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
You're the true heroes out there. You're appreciated.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Someone said, Bethany, great question. You asked what I was wondering.
Who is asking the teachers to spend their own money?
If the administration is not asking them to do that,
then why would they want to spend their own money
and come out of pocket and not get reimbursed. Someone said, hey, Ethany,
if I didn't put any money into my classroom, there
would be no books for my students to read. Becca
(25:09):
is a phized teacher in Baltimore County. She says, we
do get a budget, but we all need to share,
so I end up purchasing my own supplies or equipment
that I use for specific lessons I want to teach.
This allows our students to have a variety of activities
instead of the same old sports stuff that most schools
teach their students. Okay, so it seems like you might
(25:30):
get some budget, but if you want, you know, a variety,
and I think as parents we do want that for
our kids. Some people have to buy snacks. Looks like
I teach an inane Rental County. I spend your one
thousand dollars plus refills of snacks. The art teachers nailed,
though expected to provide banners, murals, et cetera for every
(25:51):
event in department without compensation, and their budget is small enough.
Oh that's interesting, Good morning.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Are you a teacher.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
I'm a teacher in Anarundo County, and I said about
like between two to five hundred every year in my classroom.
And they do give us a budget, but in order
to like make your room one and welcoming, they don't
butt you buy those kind of things. So, and it
is an expectation. So it's kind of like a two
(26:21):
way battle because we can't give us some money, but
it's only for students school supplies, and to make your
room welcoming you have to kind of put out the
rest of the money.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
To do that.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
It's yeah, it's they want you to do it, but
they don't give you enough to do it.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
Yeah, Like they'll give you like the basic supplies, but
I mean it's it make your room look like it's
in the nineteen seventies, So a lot of teachers aren't.
They want to make it look nicer than that, right,
And then like parents, it really depends on the area
like I used to cheat in Glenburnie and Anne around
the county and there I have a little bit less
(26:56):
parents support almost none some years, and then in past
and I have more support than I was aware I
could possibly get. So it really depends on the type
of students to teach.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Too interesting, all right, very that's that was very informative.
Thank you. I appreciate you spilling the tea out for us.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
Thanks, you're welcome. I hope you have a great day.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Thanks and thanks for doing what you do. We really
appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (27:24):
Thanks so much.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
Bye bye bye, ninety three point one w POC traffic.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Well, I can't I can't give all the teachers all
the money.
