Ok. Let me distill what I read in the last thread.
There is nothing inherently wrong with teachers or teaching.
Teachers are government employees, and as such are payied by our tax dollars.
The question then is whether teachers are making more money than they "should" be given their civil service aspects.
The biggest problem seems to be the allowance of union for what is essentially a group of state employees. Because of that teacher salaries have grown way beyond what the average salary for non-teachers has in the same time period.
So are teachers overpaid? In some areas of the country definitely. What would be fair? To pay them what the average single person from that region with a 4 year degree makes. And when I see region, I don't mean something specifically localized like Manhatten.
Teachers shouldn't be making dramatically greater salaries than the normal college graduate.
