I am a teacher in a critical shortage area in Mississippi, and I am just curious about what others think about the teachers' low salaries. We teach the future doctors, lawyers, computer scientists, etc., yet we are the lowest paid of all careers. People tend to argue that we knew what we were getting into before we chose that career path and get mad if teachers go on strike because of the low salaries. They say, "We pay taxes, so they just need to do their jobs," yet, we, too, are taxpayers who donate to our own salaries. Many of us have families to take care of as well. As a taxpayer, I think it's time for a change in teachers' salaries...
