Question

Why do techers get paid so little?

Answer 1

lol well if they spell as bad as you...........

Answer 2

The problem with teachers is that most kids that go to school are from poor families and they pay very little to send their kids to school.  For instance in California,  50 percent of the children in some areas are illegal aliens and the parents pay no money in income taxes.  The revenue for schools is from property taxes not income but illegals do not even pay income taxes- they work under the table for cash.  An illegal alien family may have 12 children and each child costs about 8 thousand dollars per year to go to school not including free lunches.  So the family is costing the school district over 100,000 dollars and paying zero into the system.  Quite often poor people have more children out of ignorance or they like free stuff from the government.  It is crippling our country.

Answer 3

They are not valued. They deserve more!

Answer 5

because in the US we do not value education.

Answer 6

Teaching is an important job.  However, it's not exactly a hard job, either.  And $35k to work for 8 months out of the year is pretty good.  If I only worked that long, I would be making around the same amount as a Mechanical Engineer (2 years out of college).  Average salary in the US is $25k.

Answer 7

The main reason that teachers get paid poorly is because of funding. The public school system in the USA is severely under-funded, which leads to dropped programs, reduced extracurricular activities, and reduced salaries of the workers. Private schools will typically try to pay higher salaries for teachers simply because they want to get "better" teachers, so they can attract more students (and their tuition!) Unfortunately, private schools do not get funding from the government, so they rely solely on tuition of the students. This means that they will need to charge a premium for tuition in order to pay higher wages... It is an unfortunate situation, but until more funding becomes available for education, it is unlikely to see teachers making much more than they are now.
