Bob, They work 10 months and get paid for 12 months. All depends on how u
look at it. Also there benefits, alteast here in wisconsin are very very
good
compared to alot of companies. Also where do u get that there the lowest
paid
of any college degree required job.
I know thats wrong as i started out as a reporter, you must have a college
degree for the job and well teachers got paid more here in wisconsin for a
starting wage. Also nurses may or may not get more then a teacher to start.
I
do agree that good teachers should be paid more, but how to u figure out
what
teachers are good is the problem. I know several of the teachers i had in
highschool were bad teachers, but they had been teaching at the school for
over
30 years so they were maxed out the pay scale but they were overpaid. sooo
what do we do...



Ok, I will give you that Wisconsin might be a bit better but the teachers I
know here in Texas are not quite as fortunate. I know a couple who both have
masters degrees and are teaching highschool. The have over 25 years on the job
and still make less on a combined salary than I made in my worst year. I know
several others who went to college, got their degrees only to have to go back
and get additional schooling to get teachers certificates and started at about
$20 a year. (Less than my daughter makes working part time as a dental
assistant.)
