I can see both sides - - - but is that kid paying off school loans?

Most of the teachers in this area are making about $30,000 per year as the schools systems will "Not renew" their contracts as raises are due and then hire young teachers again.  My wife has been with the school system here for 17 years and keeps taking more courses - - -she makes $26,000 per year - - - I keep telling her to quit but she "loves her job".

Over half of the high school teachers here have less than 10 years and are starting out at about minimum wage!

Then the school board will hire a "Superintendent" for over $200,000 per year - - - there has to be something going on that I have not figured out!

But that is part of why our schools are in the terrible shape they are in.
