You start talking high level AP HS courses and college, then yeah, you'll want the best and brightest... $30k/year to teach 1st graders how to sound out words and write their name doesn't seem too bad to me...
Up here, you need at least a masters and if you are teaching math or science you have to have your major in math or science.

Elementary school teachers dont make as much as HS teachers and I think it is those folks (elementary school) that screw with statistics around teachers salaries.

A Masters to teach 3rd grade?

That leaves only two reasonable conclusions:

1. Paul is full o' shit.

2. If it is true, the school system has more than enough qualified applicants to be picky which means that they are an attractive employer which means that the compensation package is at least fair if not generous.

I like option 1.

School districts in my area are very desirable for teaching candidates and it is a very competitive market.
aside from NYS requirements -( http://eservices.nysed.gov/teach/cer...Help.do#cfocus ), you have to make it though the vetting process.

So yes for a 3rd grade teacher in many of our districts, you best come to the door with a sparkling reputation and a masters degree.
bitch

Typically...if you luck out and land a job in elementary school, you have to prove that you are working towards a masters otherwise you will booted.
this is how it was explained to me by all deez bitches who be teachers and shit

The average income was still just $33,000 in 2008, according to IRS data.

Those teachers making 55k and 60k are a lot more than 33k.

So do people hate teachers and government workers because they are two of the few types of workers in America who still get benefits?

When it comes to education talk, i tend to toss out a bunch of mehs when talk with folks across the country. Mainly because
1. our teachers are paid well.
2. We have excellent public schools around here.
3. Shit like no child left behind hurts our schools

Sent from my old iTouch which is not as cool as racerx's fucking ipad
So we are in agreement. Sugar tits it is...

I think they are paid right... maybe even a bit high... I say that considering the number of open positions when compared to the number of applicants who submit resumes...

If all that you have is weapons to "blow the world up 33 times over", then all that you can do is either blow the world up, or nothing. Not a very effective method of defence.

It's a deterrent. But of course not needed.

It's a dare, not a deterrent, that started the whole world building the damned things.
