teachers are by definition - middle/middle class. for a job requiring so much of a person - so much education and ongoing education - and for a job which requires, as you even mention, more than just the degree or smarts - it takes a certain benevolence and type of character PAIRED with that intelligence and education... a starting teacher in most districts will start at about 30-35k a year...and leave college after working for a year in an unpaid apprenticeship with more than 30k in debt. yet clerks at QT make 60k a year. requires no education. requires no benevolence. teachers are underpaid. even if YOU do not think so...it is the number one reason why teachers leave the profession in the first 5 years of entering it... http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/05/08/AR2006050801344.html so obviously...regardless of your personal feelings on the matter - it is a problem. oh and...for all of you naysayers... "Teachers are more educated than ever before, with the proportion of those holding master's degrees increasing to 50 percent from 23 percent since the early 1960s."
