Pensions for Teachers Called for Cooperative Plan
An editorial argues for teacher pensions modeled on other professions with a small payroll tax. It suggests a one to two percent tax on active teachers to fund annual pensions of three hundred dollars after twenty-five years, viewing it as life insurance that would aid retirement and attract able educators while easing burdens on the system. It urges officials to accept taxation to elevate and dignify the teaching profession and improve education funding.
