But experienced teachers are part of the 1%
I won’t state the county where I grew up...but if you rounded up the general class of the winners and losers....it’s a simple mix.
There’s around two hundred folks in the county that pull in $100,000 or more a year. Some are lawyers...some are bankers...some are real estate players...and a couple are farmers.
In the next group of $50,000 to $100,000....around sixty percent of the teachers in the county fall into this category. They wouldn’t want the general public to know their full income and benefit package....but after age forty...they are clearing a fair amount of money. If they continue to age sixty-five...most are pulling in three-thousand a month on their pension and another $1,800 on their social security.
If anything...we are proving the point over and over....that it’s time to allow smart kids to test and leave school at sixteen, and trim back the educational wasteland that they’ve developed.
