Costly living

Considering they work 180 days a year of mothers hours and crush all available holidays and are backed by a union almost as strong as the fire dept. I feel they are well compensated.

This is dead on Chris.
Life is full of choices and teachers make that choice of employment.
Work 180 days a year.
Every single 1/2 ars holiday off.
Christmas, February & April vacation weeks.
2 month + summer vacation.
Cost of health insurance peanuts compared to most of the work force (I know 1st had because my wife works for my towns school dept)
I say they have it pretty good other that having to deal with the typical disrespectful kids #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& parents are raising today

My original point was more about cost of living here. The study just happened to be about teachers....
But having been at home all summer rehabbing my knee, I did see an awful lot of my neighbor, who teaches at a nearby HS...

And to think minimum wage was created to insure that employees were paid a fair rate to keep them level with the cost of living.... sad
