    …in the USA.

    A key piece of information missing from the title, which made it a waste of my time.

    I don’t live in that country, and while I feel very much for the plight of any foreign education system in distress, I must focus my energy on things upon which I can affect positive change.

            I am, thanks! I’m willing to bet this is happening in Asia too. Probably not Antarctica though.

        Teachers are fairly decently paid where I live but the job is shit so nobody wants it. They don’t employ enough teachers so everyone is being worked to death, and they keep adding new admin tasks, reporting tools, standardised tests, etc that makes everything worse. Also they keep doing stupid reorganisations all the time.

          I agree that it’s not one of the worst paid jobs overall, but if you apply the logic of the headline, I’m pretty sure no teacher in Europe can buy a house with their income

            Its one of the worst paying jobs that requires specific training and schooling to get into. How could they possibly pay for that plus the COL?

        *in the greatest parts of europe, aka the balkans (how is the slovenian school system still decent?)
