> I have a college degree. I graduated Phi Beta Kappa. I work as a substitute teacher, and I make about $8.25 per hour, have no benefits, and have to find alternative work in the summer.

$8.25 is £5.24; that's less than UK minimum wage which is £6.08 if you're over 21.

I have no idea why Americans accept this. Why are Americans allowing billions to be spent on security theatre while schools struggle for funding?
