Yeah, maybe not in Alabama...

In Illinois, teacher salaries are public info. I once Google'd my son's middle school English teacher, and with 20 years and a Masters, she was pulling down $110K. Not bad for having the entire summer off.

 
I'm guessing your son did not go to school in Robbins, Harvey, Ford Heights, North Chicago, Markham, Blue Island, Riverdale etc.

Given her level of education and the responsibility that goes with teaching, I'd say she is under paid.

You could say that about firemen, policemen, pilots, ambulance workers, doctors....... you could even say that about those brick in the backpack A&P's.
