[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think teachers are reasonably paid given them make more than many other gov't employees, like social workers and many others especially given they make a higher salary with summers off.[/quote]

Teachers are not reasonably paid given the amount of education they are required to have before becoming one. Compared to other similarly degreed professionals, teachers are paid horribly. You do not have to go to college to be a gov't employee. My DH works for the gov't after the military. The amount of money he makes compared to me-a teacher with a masters is unbelievable. His bonuses are the likes of which I would NEVER see as a teacher. The most I can expect a $2,500 raise--spread out over 10-12 months, while it's not unusual for him to receive a $25,000 LUMP sum bonus each year! He left one gov't job for another one year to the tune of a $30,000 raise--no additional education required. A teacher will never transfer to a new school system and see that type of salary increase.[/quote]
