    [quote=urbanrealtor][quote=paramount]Even if Teachers total compensation is included, I think we all know where the money is going…

    Honestly though, I don’t want to fight this battle, and I do think teachers deserve a good salary and benefits.

    California is at 124.8% of average for teacher salaries.

    California cost of living is 136.6% of average.
    California cost of housing is at about 200% of average.

    This would suggest to me that they make comparatively less than most teachers nationally.

    Would you disagree?[/quote]

    No, it suggests to me that they make 24.8% more than the average teacher on a national basis.

    Nebraska? Not sure what you can do in Nebraska but retire. A family farm is out of the question, the mega corporations killed those off long ago.

    As for LA raising prop taxes…they are cutting teachers (3000) but not as many as they should.

    This comes back to the illegal alien thing. If they don’t pay state taxes to pay for their children’s schooling, we are left with free-loaders. The only way to tax them is sales tax and property tax which means higher Section 8 co-pays for housing. Which is a good thing. LA is filled to the rafters of crappy prop 13 rental houses owned by trusts. It’s pure bullshit.

    I’m assuming you forgot to include the military in this statement?
