A. From 2004 to 2014, the average debt held by college graduates in North Carolina rose from $16,863 to more than $25,000.
B. According to the Living Income Standard, a measure that calculates the minimum amount a family needs to make ends meet, an adult with one child needs just over $35,710 a year to scrape by. That means no vacation, no extracurriculars, no eating out — only the basics.
Perfect! So let's cut Johnson's salary down to $35,000, and save NC taxpayers a bundle.
Most teachers aren't in the profession for the money, and teachers are often used as political props when it comes to salary discussion, but that statement is a very "wet behind the ears" statement coming from a person of Johnson's position.
Even if it's not realistic to pay starting teachers the same salary as a starting physician, a better way to approach the salary discussion would be, at the very least to acknowledge how most hard teachers work for every penny of the humble salary they're allotted. It was actually a pretty dumb thing to say.

This isn't the Bible Belt.
It's a common misconception that the entire South falls under it. The Gulf states, the Great Plains states, and Utah, are much more religious than the upper south though. Wake County is about as secular as anywhere in the northeast, for instance.
