Do we, though? I've looked into this, probably 25 - 30 school districts in multiple states over the past 10 years. In only two cases was the median teacher income meaningfully less than the median household income for the district in which they taught. In some cases, the median teacher was upwards of 10% more than the median household.
I think "low teacher pay" is nothing more than a myth. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Prince" <part15...@gmail.com> To: af@af.afmug.com Sent: Friday, March 7, 2025 2:34:21 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT trolling this morning It's because we pay teachers crap. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 3/5/2025 9:27 AM, Steve Jones wrote: > There is a reason why there is such great support for dissolving the > education system as it is, we spend the most per pupil with one of the > lowest global outcomes.
