The childish debate regarding teacher time off in not worthy of professional comment. Poor Mary, she must lead a life governed by envy and longing. Most teachers I know can not afford a pool or a cruise. The teachers are too busy taking courses to please the state just to keep their license and keep their $10 an hour job.By Mary

Well, I wonder what most teachers are doing on this hot day while most of the rest of the wage earners are driving their year-round daily commute with just one to four weeks a year off. I suppose some teachers are enjoying staying in their air conditioned homes,pools or on their summer cruise. Their time off is worth something. The incessant year round grind some other wage earners encounter, college degree or not, should also be worth some extra dollars. Meanwhile, some also have increased childcare expenses and concerns during the summer vacation.By Oldprof

Fairly well compared to whom? Back in the 1950s, teachers were in the upper 25% income level among those with a college degree. Now they’re in the bottom third. If you want to compare the teachers’ salaries to the median—including all of the high school dropouts and the chronically ill who are on disability—then OK but I would give it little credence.By Mary

Now, you should also list the average or median teaching salaries or various averages or medians based on experience in each school district alongside the general population median income in each district. It should shed some light and details on the great teaching salary debate. I think it will show teachers, on average, are paid fairly well compared to other salaries in the district (that does not include generous time off).
