    I live in the US where teachers are paid a pittance. Shows our values as a society. They’re educating the next generations, but that doesn’t make number go up right this second, so they are compensated accordingly.

      In California most of my teachers were making 6 figures in my rural town, the problem is that kids don’t care about learning, their parents especially do not care at all.

      Exactly, it’s a sad reflection of priorities. The work they do shapes the future, yet the pay doesn’t reflect that impact at all.
