Had to go outside this OP article because the author is lazy.

“The average Public School Teacher salary in Miami, FL is $56,099 as of December 26, 2019, but the range typically falls between $48,975 and $64,765.”
That starting salary is way more than what we live on. No sympathy. If they’re so stupid they can’t live off that, they certainly don’t need to be teaching students.
Thanks! To listen to some of their demonstrators one would think they were close to minimum wage. Actually they are in the range of middle management of a manufacturing plant.
Also, I hear that many teachers don’t really teach anymore. As all the students have laptops, they have internet programs for the students to turn on when they start class and the teacher only answers questions which arise. I also hear that many classes are taught out of a workbook. The teacher just hands them out and picks them up. After college, I taught in high school many years ago. It was very different in those years, including salary. We made a pittance of what they receive today.
