Those numbers are very deceiving as they include the cost of health care benefits and retirement benefits in the totals.
The average teacher salary, as in what they actually gross on a paycheck and claim to the IRS is about $58,000 in most well paying unionized states.
When you factor in that most teachers and principals have masters degrees, it's not a huge payday.
America wants the smartest and most qualified people to be teachers, but doesn't want to pay them? One way to ensure our schools will never be successful would be to pay less, I know that...
The average school gets about $8-9 k a year for every kid they teach. That means a small high school of 1,000 kids receives $8-9 million annually to work with. Don't look at the teachers, look at the school systems...
