Looking at your link, even the 10th percentile teachers are making roughly the median household income in Boonville, and housing prices there seem quite low.  Teaching would definitely be a good living there.  Mind you, that's not a bad thing, since Oneida County doesn't have a lot going for it.
No one is arguing that those teachers are grossly underpaid, though only Middle and High School teachers make more on average than the median household income for the county (elementary teachers are right on the average).  Remember that these are all college-educated and credentialed professionals, though.  Their pay may be average to slightly above average, but their education is well above average.  It is the below-average working hours that justify the fact that they don't get paid the wages of typical professionals.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

The median household income for the school district is $44,750.  All the groups of full-time teachers average more than that.  Still, I can't argue that these people spent the time and money to get their paper, and so the system owes them a good living.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Okay, Rev. Moon.  I'll pass that along.  Of course Missouri Teachers don't have collective bargaining, so I don't know how much good it will do.  Oddly, we still have budget deficits.  One school district has gone to teaching only four days a week now, but that probably won't effect the quality of education those students receive.

It's Missouri, what real hope did they have? :tinfoil:

Palin's goofy ass Tea Party fruitcakes is enough to get me to think twice about voting republican. Of course, the dems are goofy as hell too, so I'll just stay home and finish my bunker.
Stop popping out more kids and won't have to keep updating it sheesh.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.

You know, she hasn't been around here much lately. Rocky Horror hasn't been around in years. VM and Scipio are infrequent visitors. What does Languish do to scare off the Libertarians?  :hmm:

I want to know as well, so that it can be applied on other infested boards.

Well I'm supposedly a libertarian too, so whatever eradication method that was applied here didn't entirely work. :(
