Some posters here argue that, in the case of some schoolteachers, there are out of pocket expenses paid by the teacher that are not reimbursed. IMO That is wrong and distorts the actual cost of education at schools. Perhaps a standard allowance for materials should be granted but actual expenditures should be reimbursed in some way and properly disclosed as well.
"I strongly believe ALL public employees salary, expenses, retirement and other benefits should be prominently displayed to the Public."
I completely agree. I've been a teacher, and I've been a federal employee. You, the taxpayer, pay my salary and benefits, and you have every right to know how your money is spent.
Even the President's salary/benefit package is public knowledge.

Just like many other jobs (doctors, social workers, retail managers, etc.) the real salary really isn't shown due to extra hours and personal expenses. I spend at least a month's worth of salary each year on my classroom and spend thousands of hours each year outside the classroom for my job that are unpaid. Note that I know that this is not the only occupation that does so.
