Don't lose sight of the fact that these salaries and benefits are for only 9 months of work. Teachers get 3 months to vacation or earn MORE at another job. It's outrageous.

I spent 4 years on a school board and witnessed first-hand that teachers and their union care only about their own pay and benefits. If paying them more means kids go without workbooks or supplies...too bad! Their attitude was to make the parents pay for more.
