Most kids learning math, science, writing and all other subjects by attending a kind of school. Kids coming from different educational backgrounds but at the end leaving the schools with a degree of any kind. We all expect that everybody has the same basic education. All of that are the basics to be able to get a job/work, etc and earn money, get a salary.
In my understanding it is under-estimated what teachers are doing (have to do) with young humans. Beside the subjects the youngsters learn to communicate and socialize to each other which is very important to everybody.
Teachers have to prepare the youngsters for the upcoming life as an adult. I still think the teachers are one of the most influential persons in their whole life.
I was a teacher, teaching IS/IB and AP college courses at high schools in Europe and USA. And I am still very thankful to my teachers which gave me the ability to become a teacher - and I have still contact to my former students, more than 50 years ago. As a teacher we never really paid too much attention what the salary could be. (BTW, the salary in Europe is almost twice as high compare to USA)
Thank you for all your comments.
