Underpaid. Ever since my friends and I found our science teacher working as a bartender on the weekends, I've noticed a lot of teachers have more than one job. They are responsible for educating the next generation to run the country--I think they should be paid accordingly.

That would depend entirely upon where you are. The pay scale for teachers varies widely from state to state. In the states with big powerhouse unions, like Michigan, Pennsylvania and New York, teachers make a good living wage, although probably not commensurate with the level of education that they are required to have. In some states, teachers are still required to have a Master's, or National Teaching Certification and strongly encouraged to have a Rank One or Phd. And yet starting salaries are so low they can barely pay rent and eat Ramen noodles and they are expected to pay for continuing education and materials for their classroom out of that. Ten years ago, with a degree and teacher certification, I started out taking h$800 a month and was required to pay for $1500 worth of grad school out of that. My classroom didn't even have textbooks, and I was buying magazine to teach reading with, or my students wouldn't have had anything to study.

Underpaid, or at least how the media portrays it. Anyway, a good education for our youth is something very important. It shapes EVERYONE for the future.
