U.S. teachers earn 60% less than workers in other professions requiring comparable education levels, according to a 2017 report from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. It’s a phenomenon Allegretto calls the teacher pay penalty.

Some Chicago teachers say the job is impossible not because of low wages but because they feel overwhelmed by paperwork and struggling with too few resources to meet the complicated needs of their students.

btw, the Teachers I know take a lot of work home with them...and while at home they devote considerable time to developing their lesson plans, and many other classroom issues...not just in-school work...while other professionals, with the same levels of education, clock-out and head for the nearest pub.

Using the "Meritocracy" measure, students need valued and supported teachers throughout their educational development in order to become the STEM and other professional college grads or outstanding trades persons of the future...let's not be "Penny Wise, and Pound Foolish" when it comes to Public School Teachers.
