The average salary for a teacher is $39,000 for 9 months of work. Now if teachers worked year round like other professions that would equate to a paycheck of $52000 per year. Teachers are not under paid, perhaps if they want higher pays they should consider working a job that lasts year round. However, they are the ones who made the decision to work as teachers, and only work 9 months out of the year.
We don't need to pay them more, instead we need to ensure that what they are paid is based upon performance and not time served.
dmk Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles
