Lot of sympathy here for teachers, which is very understandable. I am sure many of them, especially those early in their career, have a very miserable existence. But on the flip side I know several teachers that “stuck it out” and are making well over 100k annually working 9 months a year in low cost of living Ohio. In fact two of them are married, so they have a household income approaching 250k per year in an area where median household income is well under 100k. Teachers are very good at “putting on the poor mouth”, but many of them are living very comfortable lifestyles. And the administrators even more so. Their salaries would make some engineers blush.
