High education spending doesn't equate to good teacher pay. The pay for administrative staff has gone through the roof.
IMHO, teachers are underpaid for what they do and what we expect of them.
- musicale 3y ago> High education spending doesn't equate to good teacher pay. The pay for administrative staff has gone through the roof. Am I reading this chart correctly? It seems to indicate that US teachers' salaries are at #6 in the OECD countries (behind Luxembourg, Germany, Netherlands, Canada, and Australia): https://data.oecd.org/teachers/teachers-salaries.htm https://data.oecd.org/teachers/teachers-salaries.htm Surprisingly Finland is at #17. And this chart [2] seems to indicate that administrative expenditures have consistently accounted for around 40% of public elementary and secondary education expenditures since 1980. However they were lower in 1970 (32%), so there seems to have been some expansion in the 1970s.

- deepthunder 3y agoApparently Canada spends less on its Public Education System than the United States but teachers salaries are higher in Canada. US Public School System is top heavy with administrators by comparison.
