| IamAwsome said: Teachers open windows of knowledge and opportunity to all of us. I know that sounds corny lol, but they do a lot more than meets the eye, especially at underfunded schools. And a LOT of the work is done at home, off the clock. On the subject of pay by nation, many professions pay more in the US than other nations, because of things like mandatory health insurance and other quirks. Teaching is no different. |
@Bold It does ...
And the only thing that they are supposed to do is get students to pass standardized testing, nothing more and nothing less ...
Many professions get paid more in the US mainly because the country has a higher per capita nominal GDP so quirks like mandatory health insurance play second fiddle ...
US public teachers in K-12 are paid enough so they should try looking at other opportunities like applying as professor at a university or relocating to Germany if they want higher pay instead of making the public deal with their BS ... (teachers unions are loads of horse shit too)
