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.

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.
Read the article at the link before you criticize.
What part of my original post #10 did you not understand??? Your comments to me are so far off from my comments as to be almost not the same subject.
The closest comment that I made regarding teacher pay was that the pay is set by what the market will bear for a job that only works 66% of the year.
“The average teacher salary in 2001 was $43,300, compared to the average full-time worker salary of $40,100.”
Your comment, in regard to the quote you chose from the article (above):
In other words, they compared a teacher’s part time pay with the average professional’s full time pay.
Average full-time worker does not equate to average professional.
