Third, no matter what you claim, teacher salaries reflect the fact that our society values them very little. Even *college* salaries are starting to reflect that. I have already pointed out that I actually had to calculate whether my Japanese teacher made enough to cover her gasoline expenditures (she does--but gasoline eats up almost *HALF* of her net pay in this instance).
I had to explain this to someone who was shocked at how much money a piano tuner was charging. It's even more severe for someone who has to travel between each job. Turns out, that only an exceptionally high-demand tuner, who can ask a fairly high rate, really earns all that much money.
