Your school district is way above the national average for what an average teacher makes. I live in one of the highest salary area in the nation and teachers don't even come close to that.

Shush up! You're spoiling perfectly good rants, bursting bubbles and generally raining on parades.

After 12 years as a teacher, my daughter decided to go for greener pastures and quit teaching, she has a much more lucrative job now than the $39,000 per year. She had 12 years experience and a Master's degree.

Good for her. The school system pays pittances for teachers. Your daughter is very wise to get out while she’s young.
