Retired schoolteacher of around 25 years. Blah blah blah. Yes, we have no private lives. I was warned of that every year. She did nothing wrong. More importantly, ask why she had to supplement her income. I would not be able to survive on what I would be making today.

Supplement?

If this is the one from a while ago, she was making 40k teaching and 120k on OF...

The only reason she kept teaching was she actually likes teaching.

But yeah, the best thing for a country long term is if educators are some of the highest paid positions. The investment into the next generation is one of the biggest pay offs. There's a lot of geniuses out there that just get a dog shit education and never live up to their potential.

Too many adults/voters just don't see the benefit of investing in the future

It would be nice for the peasants but the country is not ran for wage slaves' benefit

It's especially criminal how teachers salaries have been allowed to outright stagnate over god knows how long.

About 50 years. That's how long.

I almost changed careers to teaching and dodged a bullet. Still a very worthwhile masters with the combination of philosophy, psychology, statistics and data interpretation ,management, and assesment. Its really an incredible field and its to bad it gotten such a short shrift.
