Such figures are sure to fuel arguments made by conservative publications that teachers aren't underpaid, but in fact earn more than many other skilled professions.
I am astonished and outraged that you can so snidely and callously dismiss the obvious. Are we expected to believe that teachers making near six-digit salaries, plus health, the most liberal vacation benefits in the world, plus guaranteed pensions are STILL CRYING ABOUT BEING UNDERPAID!
Please tell me this is a bad joke. In the private sector of this economy professionals of all kinds are experiencing deflation of salaries, benefits, loss of vacation and savings, and get no pensions.
When is the last time your lowest paid teachers missed a paycheck?
The spiraling cost of education - the lion's share which is benefits to teachers and staff - NOT KIDS - is out of control.
I am a taxpayer. I am a parent. I AM A LIBERAL.
The apple these teachers are receiving isn't gold, it is platinum.
