job they're doing with no pay >>

in the northern NJ area there are many after 20 yrs. making between $90-100 + K per year which includes salary and the longevity perk, plus benefits! I understand many of them have an MA+45 or two masters degrees but that is no evidence they can teach any better or with better information.

It's been posted here and elsewhere that the teachers's claims that they are paid dirt simply are not true--in EVERY state they make above the average.

I'm not dlamming teachers but I am annoyed at their "mine don't stink" attitude, as if their profession is beyond criticism. Each time I've engaged in debate about the qaulity of public teachers and their pay rates, the other person always descends into personal attacks or non-seqs, like "Gee, I guess I didn't know all us teachers are millionaires, thanks for telling me!" and that kind of pointless bull.
