pAre public school teachers paid too much or too little?

v Too little
"The education of the people mean more to us than our riches" this is suppose to be the words of Thomas Jefferson, if so, I can interpret this two ways. The education of the American people is the best way to create a democratic society; or educate the people just enough to keep them believing that they have a chance to become part of the "landed gentry". Well, the land is being confiscated by the rich, and the middle class is shrinking. Jobs are limited, our children graduate from college loaded with debt with few job options. Meanwhile, public education is being dismantled, while private charter colonies (I'm sorry, I mean schools) are being promoted as the answer to a dismal education system. Don't worry, teachers of the future will be paid better, but only those teachers who educated the children of the "landed gentry". The rest of us "useless eaters" will be relegated back to the plantations (Oh, my bad! I mean to Wal Mart).

    "Well, the land is being confiscated by the rich", example?

    "Jobs are limited, our children graduate from college loaded with debt", because of ridiculous salaries?

    "With few job options", who hires peopls with some of these non degree degrees? Why do you need to "assess toxicity and parasitism in Belize crocodiles". This is part of a biology trip from UCLA. I'm not making this up folks.

    "Public education is being dismantled", maybe in inner city schools due to no tax base which are surrounded by areas that look like war zones .

    "While private charter colonies (I'm sorry, I mean schools) are being promoted as the answer to a dismal education system". You answered you own remark "the answer to a dismal education system" and thank GOD for charter schools and home schooling.

    "The rest of us "useless eaters" will be relegated back to the plantations (Oh, my bad! I mean to Wal Mart)". You must be a teacher. Sounds like you have a real attitude and chip on your shoulder. The Walton family will welcome you with open arms to shop at one of their stores. After all Wal-Mart is the largest retailer and employer in the world. ;-)

    The Civil War, or what I call "The War of Mis-states" was supposedly fought to save the unity of the greatest experiment the world had ever devised; The United States of America. Foreign powers was, and still is trying to destroy this ideal. The purpose of the Monroe Doctrine, was to keep foreigners out of the Western Hemisphere, along with the baggage they would bring, which was and still is wars, that would accompblish the objectives of the international bankers who controls most of the governments of the world today. Wars transfer assets quickly from one country to another, so it is the interest of bankers to promote their fair share of misinformation to bring about their objectives.
    How do money interest accompblish this? Through limited exposure to education in the fields of math, economics, and history which apparently, you meet that standard, if you think Wal-Mart is an improvement over the manufacturing dominance America once had. Don't you realize that the destruction of the American education system, is the final nail on the coffin, of what was once known as democracy? America is now truly a nation of immigrants, the only difference between the inception of this country and now is, the immigrants does not want to be Americans; they are citizens of the world. Sound familiar?
