Name one item that is inaccurate.I didn't say your thoughts were inaccurate. I pointed out that people are quick to jump on an average American that wants to make more money. But, if a CEO of a poorly run, or even a well run company, makes millions, no one says a word. In fact, they are applauded. Why do you not applaud a teacher that betters himself and his family for making as much money as he can?

Well, it does ignore the fact that half of all teachers quit after serving less than five years. Teachers in many states earn far less than what is posted above. ( It also ignores the fact that the real money is in administration. It is not unusual for an asst. superintendent to earn more than a congressmen--and they are both politicians. A big city superintendent, whose job is mainly ceremonial and political, typically is among the highest paid officials in the United States. )
But in another way, he understates his case. Most teachers are married and are not the only breadwinners in their families. The average family income of a family with a teacher in it is above 75G a year on the average. Not exactly the genteel poverty of fifty years ago.
