Teacher Pay Fails To Affect Scores, Report Says

Submitted by kiwikit, Jan 31, 2007 18:57

Their pay is huge (check out Connecticut and Alaska) while their work time if minimal. On top of that they ease into retirement with no need to change their lifestyle because that is overpaid as well. And the medical benefits are comparable to the fed senators and congressmen. For this, we get rich teachers producing illiterate children. What a deal! We'd have no bright children whatsoever if it weren't for those who are homeschooled.
