[quote=Anonymous]A few things to consider: 1) public school teachers have a rich benefits package and have more time off than the average professional. When one adjusts for those differences, how do teacher salaries compare? 2) most teachers are given a curriculum and teach the same class for years. Thus, their position is very different from a professional that is solving new problems or inventing new products and services every day. It’s not that teachers are robots, but that they’re not being paid to solve problems with big upside wins. Instead, their value is helping students understand a set of material both have been given. 3) a lot of a teacher’s problems stem from parents. Parents hate taxes, which pay teachers’ compensation. Parents also expect schools to make their kids geniuses. Parents never want to believe that a problem is caused by them or their kid. Instead, they blame the teachers. Teaching would be more fun without some parents. [/quote]
