I think you may have meant your comments for someone else. You might want to go back and reread my post. I was pointing out that teachers get paid the rate at which the market will bear. Further, I was pointing out that they don’t work full time like the rest of the skills marketplace.
No, my comment was to you. Do you not understand what was written in the article ? Here, let me quote:
“The average teacher salary in 2001 was $43,300, compared to the average full-time worker salary of $40,100.”
In other words, they compared a teacher’s part time pay with the average professional’s full time pay.
Get it now ?
Teachers get paid an hourly wage that is higher than almost all other professionals. If they need more money than what they earn in 10 months, they have plenty of opportunity to tutor, teach summer school, and so on for those additional 2 months, not to mention the lavish vacation times during Christmas, Easter break, Winter break, and the like. Or any other job, for that matter.
