So, some people have even more education and have paid even more money than you did--and they're (gasp!) teachers. Imagine that!

Not from my high school. There are a couple PhDs, which I can totally understand being paid more money. But the highest most of them have is a masters, and being that a lot of them are from Pitt, that's one year of schooling after your BA.
About any hours they put in, etc. A few teachers did put in a lot of hours (and they're not the ones getting paid $75k... the ones getting paid over $75K are the ancient ones who don't do ANYTHING extra and who generally are NOT good teachers, but they can't be fired easily because of the unions). But most of them were out the door shortly after the dismissal bell. And I do know this as fact because I stayed after school almost every day for something or other. Most of them didn't do anything extra in the summer.
I'm entitled to my opinon, especially since it's MY school district in particular. No, I don't feel that 1/3 of them should be making over $75K. That's absurd, IN MY OPINION.
And you're entitled to your opinion. But i'm not putting on an attitude and getting nasty because I don't agree with your opinion. So chill!
