Do you support the U.S. teacher strikes?

I'm all for better teaching wages and conditions, but I never liked this argument. You're comparing world class athletes entertaining millions to the average teacher educating hundreds. The average athlete (the other 99% not in the big leagues) makes WAY less than the average teacher (little to nothing). Anyone teaching millions of people (through writing books or making programs) could well be making millions themselves. Same goes for comparisons to world class actors, musicians, entrepreneurs, etc.

Would it suit you better if I said we spend more on entertainment than on education? 

Sure. Are there any hard numbers for that, though?
