You don't need the best and brightest teaching second grade addition and subtraction though.Who gets 57,000?
There are only 20 states out 50 that average that and notice I said average.
http://www.teacherportal.com/teacher-salaries-by-state/
Average starting salary is 35,000.
A teacher gets about 1,000 a year bump in pay if any depending on school budgets.
The average salary in your state is 47,000 with a starting salary of 30,000.
To me it's not about a living wage it's about attracting the best and brightest yes you can live on these wages but can you keep and get the best teachers with these wages.
It's why so many idiots are drawn to teaching.
