At $39,175, teacher salaries in Kansas are far below the national average in 2005 of $47,808. School Districts across Kansas are facing devastating financial cuts due to the lack of state funding. Disregard for the value of education has been spreading like an epidemic throughout Kansas over the last decade. Consequences are beginning to materialize more vividly now as resources are vanishing, foreign language subjects are no longer being taught in many schools, school staffing positions are being reduced and much more. Right now, more than ever, Kansas needs new, highly qualified teachers to infiltrate it's educational system. Kansas needs teachers and administrators to have an understanding of current issues, the reasons for these issues and the underlying concepts for proposed solutions. Education is the future of Kansas. The effects of a neglected public education system will be evident as we move further along into the 21^st century.

Future Kansas Teachers: It is easy to speak of shortcomings in public education, but it is also important to acknowledge the up-side of any situation. There are large campaigns being coordinated in order to educate tax payers to understand the effects of a shoddy public education in their communities, such as lowering real estate prices and a poorer quality future work force. A very important fact that should be observed by any person contemplating becoming a teacher, or entering into any position within Kansas' public education system, is that what is making progress in Kansas schools and the perception tax payers have of education is proper information and educating the public. It is becoming evident that we can not support a quality education in our schools if the rest of society around us is left in the dark with regard to what education does for our communities. Therefore, it is the duty of future Kansas teachers to properly prepare themselves and become equipped with the knowledge they will need to lead our communities into a more educated tomorrow.
