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.

There may well be a real gap, but to just compare gross dollars is highly misleading. New York is one of the highest taxing states in the U.S., Florida one of the lowest. The cost of living in Florida is lower than most of New York. It's not just the dollars you get, it's what you get with those dollars.
