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.

You can't even begin to compare FL to NY. The cost of living in NY is through the roof so $90,000 doesn't go far enough as to what $49,000 would in FL. If you really compare both, the FL salary would be better than New York's, PLUS you are only stating the beginning salary for teachers new coming into the system. Once they have a few years in, they are making good money for only working 9 months. That gives them either the summer off for a nice vacation or they can work other jobs if they need to just like the rest of Americans.
