#2Teachers don’t work year round. So that 60k salary if adjusted to days worked + pension benefits is equivalent to six figures in the private sector.

Then they get a summer job. I remember an elementary school teacher from when I was a kid who was a park ranger in the summer.

Not American, so a couple of questions:
1. Is it normal for teachers to have alternative income for the days they don't work?
2. Sounds like the term "six figures" has a special meaning other than just being in the range 100.000 - 999.999? It appears like there is a connotation that it is a special things to achieve in your life.
3. Taking inflation into account, shouldn't it soon be normal to earn that amount (when including pensions and benefits like health, which I know is expensive).

Teachers do more work outside of their standard hours than most other professions. I dated a teacher for a long time and she worked much harder for her public school salary (waking up at 6am, prepping, lesson planning, grading, chasing up kids who aren't making it to school, dealing with social workers, etc.), than I do for my cushy six-figure tech job salary.
Besides, why shouldn't teachers make six-figures? Why are teachers treated like this in the US?

Good?
If you want maths taught by actual maths grads, then you will need six figure salaries to attract them.

#10Instead, allow for a voucher system where parents can apply the equivalent amount of money the public school spends and apply it towards private schools. Make it easy for teachers to start their own school or coop to compete for vouchers. Definitely a pipe dream but it might work.
