No they don't. Property Taxes pay to make schoolteachers millionaires with gold-plated pensions.

  Is thid satire? School teachers make nowhere near that, even post retirement, with a pension. The state with the highest salary band for primary education is Maryland at $99500 at 90p. Most states cap out below $132k, and that's after 20 years of experience and several Master's degrees in Education (not free). Admins make more than that, but not much more. Private school educators are paid by tuition and do not receive property tax revenue afaik. Police officers in many cities make more than this (also funded by prop taxes). Also, a thought experiment: what if it _were_ possible for teachers to retire as multi-millionaires? How would this impact the quality of education our children receive? How would this impact our future societies?

    How much money would you have to have in order to retire with the pension and benefits a schoolteacher gets? Be sure to factor in the cost of the health insurance and cost of living adjustments they get. You mention the cost of their education but you’re no doubt aware of the Federal Schoolteacher Student Loan Forgiveness Program.
