Depends where you are blue states tend to pay their teachers better. Still have a lot of the same parental and administrative issues but at least they generally dont have to work a second job for ends to meet.
So that students end up writing better than you. 80k isn’t an absurd salary in most cost of living areas with lots of families. I’m sure there are locations where that might be considered high, but honestly I couldn’t give two fucks about any argument why teachers of 20 years should be paid well.
This would all go through the administration and definitely not tolerated outside a behavioral challenges classroom at my kids school.
IMO the only real reason is 80k after 20 years . And I live in an affluent neighborhood in a decently funded state.
Y best friend growing up is at 20 years and barely @ 50.
