The average teacher salary in California is almost 70,000 per year. Nationwide, it's right around 60,000.
Let's not act as if that's some crazy low amount.

Jesus. I wish my wife made 60.
She teaches 5th grade. And while there is nothing really technical or any huge high level skill she needs to educate these varmints, there is a real art to teaching. I don't have it. I'm entirely too logical and linear thinking.
That and I'd discipline a kid and be fired on the spot.
Teachers are expected to so many functions of teaching, parenting, socialization, and basic skills development. Many of my wife's students get virtually none of it at home. So it is on her to try to develop the kids and she can't do a damn thing discipline wise to push the kids along.
