As a teacher, we know there is a wide range of teacher salaries mainly based on how many years of experience the teacher has. I think giving generalities about how much an average teacher makes is missing the point. New teachers who work 80 weeks to get their kids proficient on state exams certainly deserve higher pay. I am interested what your poll results would have been if you had asked that? Oh and
"Wow, that handwriting looks really neat. Someone awesome must have written it."
