Don’t know where you are referring to. Let me school you about teachers salaries in suburban Phila. They are among the wealthiest folks around. Over 100k for 180 days of work per year. Compare with the private sector where talented young people are lucky to get two weeks vacation. Most of those with “Masters” are not in subject but in some area of ed. once upon a time teaching was a calling, like a vocation. Those teachers were not thinking about coparing themselves to “ private sector” employees. They wanted to teach. See the difference?
