12/21 One Paycheck Away
Quote From: pkenadams We have a daughter who teaches kindergarden and lives from pay check to pay check. She is loved by her students, their parents, and staff. I wonder why when we trust our children to the school we don't worry about paying them. Her Supterindent left for a higher paying job and he was doing great things. Some schools seat back and make offers to obtain the better people. The average income for a family of 4 in the US was $65,000 in 2003. This is with 2 incomes.
In 2003 the average teacher salary was $45,000 for one income.......that's more than half of what most 2 income families make. I agree that teachers don't make what they are worth, but I wouldn't call them poor either. They make higher than average salaries.
