And you can't really blame the teachers. They need to make a living, and they barely do as it is.

How does the living made by teachers compare to other employed persons with similar qualifications and ability?

Teachers make about 40k a year. http://www.payscale.com/research/US/All_K-12_Teachers/Salary

I'm of the opinion that we should value our educators more.
