Dear Editor,
Teachers are important everywhere in the world. I have seen numerous hardworking teachers in Guyana and elsewhere. I know your trials, and daily suffering, and challenges. I have been there myself. That said, if one is unhappy with one’s employer/salary one has the option of leaving for something perceived better. Just one thing I always believe in life. Nobody should be so trapped inside a profession that they will choose to cry over the pay, salary, pay check and remain miserable about it. A job is a job. If the public sector pay is not enough, then try the private sector! Market yourself and your credentials where you can be paid more handsomely for your services. Stop seeing yourselves as worthless beings that are underpaid. We are all victims of inflation and rising cost of living. See yourselves as qualified vessels that can offer the job market much more than what is already there. That is my advice to teachers. Long live the teachers of Guyana.
Sincerely,
Leon Jameson Suseran
