I hate teachers' unions. My highschool's highest paid teacher was a gym teacher (who had been around for 40 years), who made ~$150K. While I had a great calculus teacher who only made $60K. The Calc teacher had a masters in math, and had over 90% of his two sections of Calculus BC students get perfect scores on the AP (and no student from his class had ever failed to pass the AP exam). http://www.slate.com/blogs/blogs/kausfiles/archive/2009/04/23/at-last-neoliberal-press-bias.aspx http://www.slate.com/blogs/blogs/kausfiles/archive/2009/04/2... The problem is that if the district wants to get rid of a poor teacher, that teacher has the right to stay (and force a younger, non-tenured, teacher to get let go instead).
