They don't get paid more than I do. I'm in the country, aren't I?
I've no clue where you are, but that list Dean posted above shows Chicago, on average, is paid the most.
As our educating the next generation of worker bees is probably the most important task in our society, and considering the education level one must maintain in order to be a teacher, shouldnt they get paid the salariesd Rdean posted?
They dont seem overpaid to me at all...especially considering Ill make more than every one of those salaries this year in a manufacturing job.
I did not say they should not get paid that much. The OP states the teachers in the article are making 71k a year plus bennies and work 10 hours a week less than the other teachers in this nation. It also states they are now demanding more money to teach the SAME amount of hours. The teachers are FORCED to choose what to teach, science, math, history because they cut their hours so much and have a near 50 percent failure rate. But they make more than the average teacher and work far less.
