Poor lady putting her heart and soul into a job that most likely pays 14 an hour.

Unless she is a sub she is most likely making way more than 14 an hour. Still not enough to deal with what most teachers deal with on a daily basis.

Your “way more” estimate is way off.

There is this

Depending on location it can be upwards of 10 dollars more an hour. My rough math is minimally 17 an hour. Still not enough and I'd agree 17 is not way more. But 14 is inaccurate. Dazzle them with facts. Don't be wrong with emotion.

Right on, location is a definite factor. My wife had to fight for 17/hr when she was a teacher. Insane. This was OKC though very top of the list of underpaid teachers and undereducated students.

Yeah it's sad what teachers are paid. Especially when you go South and West. Close friend makes roughly 110K a year after 19 as a Social Studies teacher in New York while another makes 49K in Maryland after 7 years as a Physics teacher. But are we surprised. They don't really want well paid teachers, then the kids might get a better education and they don't want smart forward thinking children.
