They make 70-80K a year for having a masters degree in 1st grade milk-n-cookies, and it's only a part-time job.While....I'm very far, far away from being a public ed. defender....I don't think the median avg. salary for MA degree'd teachers is 70-80k....
Maybe I'm wrong..as I don't track them...so let's just be accurate in our numbers.

I’ve got pretty decent credentials and I agree wholeheartedly.

And the study was probably skewed to show as low of a percentage as possible. See the likely subjective ones who did it.

It's all about $$$ for the Education Establishment.......Push that Physical Therapists need to have a PHD....when a BA worked just fine.
Push that a RN needs a BA...when a AS in Nursing was just fine.
Plenty of other examples.....
It's all about $$$ for the E.E.C. ( Education Establishment Complex )
And considering "teachers" are mainly Union...they have their "supporter's" in D.C.

Anything subsidized via 3rd party payer tends to be exorbitantly overpriced.

Its a racket to make college professors and administrators rich. And it has nothing to do with whether the student/customers actually need the product.
The Education Industrial Complex.

Shouldnt even a really smart high school graduate be able to teach others the same thing? An associate degree in education should be the max required, especially for those teaching grade school. My mother and her grandmother immigrated to the US in 1920, she was twelve years old. It took her about six weeks to learn English, granny never learned. Mom attended "normal school" through eighth grade and then attended "Teachers College" which amounted to high school.
Most kids did not attend beyond eighth grade but if you ever run across the comprehensive exam they had to complete to graduate you'd be impressed by the difficulty level of the questions. I'd think that few if any college graduate English majors would pass.

Different times, unfortunately. Different times. I try lots of that with my classes - the older stuff that’s completely out of fashion today. I don’t care much about what the books say they *should* know for their age. I try to give them whatever they can get their hands on.
Makes me sad. So many struggle with the basics these days, like reading and spelling. I could spend all my time on just that and the kids would excel.

The state average for teachers in MI is $61,000. and that isn't for just those with a masters. Many teachers here make 100k with all the garbage add on's. And by ‘add on's’ I don't mean fringe benefits.
