I've never met anyone who thinks that teachers are overpaid. I do find some arguments teachers make in favor of higher pay kind of obnoxious, I suppose.

I wish we could pay teachers more. Especially my child's teacher, she overworked and under paid. I can see she is passionate about what she does, but will burn out in 5 years and take a job doing something else. She makes a fraction of what she should and my daughter loves her. I can't imagine have the passion, skill and patience to do what she does.

I am not not bothered by haters. I do a fantastic job and have been offered other jobs in corporate training. But I can't find a better fit for my family b/c I'm home with my kids. (Husband has the same position. So we take turns over the summer with childcare.)

I have a 2 undergrad degrees and a Masters - plus and additional 30+ credits over that.



Damn! What county? I make half that with the same degrees and extra credits.

A lot of the haters are anti-union types looking for union targets. Didn't you know, if we get rid of teachers' unions, we can solve all our budget and education problems in one fell swoop....

I don't know anyone who thinks teachers are overpaid, so isn't this a straw man?

Here is a cute take on teachers' salaries: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/02/22/948224/-Are-you-sick-of-highly-paid-teachers?detail=email#. In the name of disclosure, I admit that it's Daily Kos, so expect a liberal slant.
