        My grandparents were both teachers and are rich. Granted one was a professor, but the other a public school teacher.

            In dying rural areas in the US teachers are generally some of the best paid. Its mostly in cities where their pay lags. But no, they live in the US in LA(CA, not the state). Also, FYI just because I live in one country doesn’t mean its the same my grandparents live in.

                Thank you for describing why your anecdote is an outlier and DEFINITELY doesn’t prove any norm.

                Where did I say it was the norm??? You called someone a liar for giving an anecdote. Outliers do happen…

                    They never said anything about a trend. They said not all teachers are poor. That doesn’t mean they were disagreeing that teachers tend to be underpaid.
