[quote=YINDUFFY,322596]Who said we don't pay our teachers well? It is a matter of opinion. Public school teachers think they are underpaid and the people who pay their salaries (taxpayers) think they are getting quite enough.

Colleges are another matter and they are run like businesses (which they are) who hire and fire teachers like employees. They pay high salaries to teachers who do well or have a good reputation and also give benefits like free or reduced tuition to family members.

In public school grades 1 through 7 the teachers are probably 98% women with more men in higher grades where they may teach a specialty like Mathematics or chemistry.
   Another aspect is that teachers tend to be of the extreme liberal persuasion and not in tune with the families of the children they teach. When their kid comes home after a day of lectures on the benefits of gay marriage or how their using electricity to watch TV is destroying the planet through global warming the parents would like to have a word with the teacher.[/quote]
