My mom had a masters degree and as a substitutete teacher in the 70's was paid $28.00 a day. I bagged groceries in and around same time and could make more money.
Bottom line is that teachers are underpaid considering the schooling that is reguired and which is necessary to be an effective teacher.

Totally disagree that a Masters degree is necessary to teach high school and elementary school classes and they only work 10 months a year.
