Earlier thread, I mentioned that our values are "out of whack", how can our state, not be ashamed, paying a profession that is so important to our future such a pathetic amount to our teachers.
Please, for those asking me to leave if I don't like it, I suggest we fix this problem by cutting our legislators salaries until it's fixed.

Have you considered how much lower the cost of living is "down South?" Constantly raising teacher salaries leads to higher taxes which, wow, lead to increased teacher salaries. Comparing salaries between such extremes is apples to oranges. A more compelling argument for higher FL teacher salaries would be to compare them to comparable states (Texas, Tennessee, etc.) that have no income tax and lower taxes overall. They may still be lower, but a more accurate comparison could be made.
