Frankly, how much a teacher makes depends on where they live. Where I'm from, you could start anywhere from $21,000 to $28,000 but the highest you could ever make would be $35,000, and it takes a lot of years teaching before you reach that. Of course, the cost of living here is a little less BUT real estate has been rising while paychecks haven't.
Someone up there said that they had education majoring friends who never said they did it for the money, and it's the same idea for all the ed. majors I know, including myself. Someone else up there also said that they had no sympathy for teachers. Most of us are not looking for sympathy, just understanding. People don't realize what teachers put up with to teach their kids. I mean, their jobs have become quite dangerous in the past few years.
