The average cost of the average teacher has to be approaching $90k a year already. In Arizona, a state not known for education spending, spends close to $15k per teacher on pension contributions. Add in medical and other benefits, 3 months vacation, tenure, payroll taxes and the typical teacher is near there.
- megaman22 9y agoYou do NOT want to suggest to a teacher that their salary isn't that bad, for working 3/4 of the year. Especially if there are any throwable objects at hand... Whether they are or not, many firmly believe they are underpaid.

This is an area where people feel free to spread disinformation so I'd be careful. > In Arizona, a state not known for education spending, spends close to $15k per teacher on pension contributions.

The interesting thing about Arizona is that salaries - which aren't great - are trending downward.
