I have a niece currently in college that wants to become a teacher. She understands the salary isn't going to make her rich but it's not really the money that drives her to become a teacher.
My advice to any teacher that dislikes their pay, quit and find a better paying job. Surely you were aware of the salaries before you decided to choose this as a career.
What they probably were not aware of is the nearly total, complete and profound level of disrespect and distain the American public has for teachers and the teaching profession.
Really? Why you hold such distain for teachers?
Because they only have to work part of the year for a whole years pay of course.
