Of course, teacher pay differs from district to district, usually based on the relative affulence of the community. I worked in one such high-paying district with median salary in the $40k range, which is not terrible when compared with other districts in Pennsylvania. I spent two years at the elementary level, which provided me with some surreal experiences, given that you typically have more frequent contact with the parents at that level. The drop-off line, where parents who drove their children to school would let them out, was a parade of Lexuses (Lexi?), BMWs, Lincolns, ect. The faculty lot, by contrast, was a collection of Hondas, Toyotas, Chevrolet, el al. And despite all of the community affluence, there were plenty of gripes about teacher salary. I'll tell you; one has not experienced a true Twilight Zone moment until you've seen a woman in a fur coat and pearls telling her son's teachers that they were overpaid for essentially raising her child.
