Post some pay scales that show that. You will not be able to. It is NOT common anywhere in the USA to have teachers being paid 90K or above. "MY FRIEND" "My neighbor" "My family member" does not count as common. You need to think bigger than your own small world.
Google 'new Trier teachers salaries' and take a look. I can't link it because it is giving only a PDF and my name is on the link.
I just looked up the teacher salary schedule for my district. Step 1 with a BA is ~$42k. Maximum for a stepped out teacher with an MA is ~$95k. We trend to the high side because we have a ton of older teachers with a master’s degree (and a handful with a doctorate), especially at the high school level, but the median salary is coming down as they retire. I think the poster with whom you’re debating is engaging in more than a bit of hyperbole.
(upper 90s to 100+ is pretty common, and with summers off)
You are hilariously wrong. There is no district in the USA where that salary is COMMON. Do you guys just make this crap up? If 10 teachers out of 1000 making 90's is what you call "common" then maybe you'd be correct. Most are between 50 and 75k. You guys just like making things up it appears.
The median teacher compensation Is $58,000.
NY state has the highest median wage at $79,000.
Oklahoma * has the lowest median at $39,000.
Cost of living is highly variable across and within states.
Some teachers are in right to work states. Some states do not permit teacher unions and/or teachers cannot strike.
They can be fired anytime the administrations decides.In my time several were run off for being stupid. And that's what it takes. Persistent parental involvement in what the kids are being taught and how.
If your district employs highly paid lazy asre teachers it is because you and your community are not doing your job.
BS. The school boards rubber stamp everything the administration recommends. Tenured teachers don't get fired. lol

Okay - this is one example that is true that it looks like 90k and above. With that said I did say 1 to 5% are over 90k across the US... this apparently is a great example where somehow a school IS way overpaying it's staff! I will admit these numbers are crazy and NONE of those teachers making 135k to teach English/Math should be complaining, either go in or let someone else go in. Hell I'd go in for those numbers!
A science teacher making 135k? Time to go learn how to be a science teacher and move to IL. The cost of living related to those salaries are great!

I have great respect for teachers, they have to deal with babysitting kids from crappy parents.
But the nonsense going on here is outrageous. Just quit teaching if you’re afraid of the big bad virus. And if you’re obese or a smoker, that’s you’re own fault for engaging in a high risk lifestyle.
Covid doesn’t really hurt kids, and it’s a 99% survival rate virus. But it might as well be the end of the world.
Possibly this mind sent might change. KIDS do get sick just don't always succumb to the virus. However, many live in homes where normally have helicopter parents. They know from the first cold when their baby could not breathe and cried all night, they became protective parents. Do you not think during the last 5 months that there's been no school, those parents protected those kids??
Now that kids are let lose back into the world, with out mom or dad, we shall see what the numbers do.
I've been a teacher and went to the private sector after a very short time, so you are wrong as I have experienced both.
You cannot use your ONE experience to say someone is wrong. You need to find large sets of data to do that. One poster above DID do that and I will admit it's surprising to see ONE district grossly overpaying.. However even that one district does not represent "average teacher pay in the US"
A IHOP server shows to teach AP Calculus and can’t spell Calculus.
A “ My 600 Pound Life” person is wheeled in to fill in for physical education.
Pedophile , licks his chops, eager to teach 3rd grade.
People eager to share their beliefs / perceptions show, eager to use class time to require students to worship their god.
What could go wrong?
It sounds like little difference.
All they would need is a computer program to follow and babysit the kids. They would be less likely to be indoctrinators of pc brainwashing. I believe that is the motivation for most teachers these days, learning is secondary. Even their "I miss you" tweets and videos are dripping with liberal pc syrup.
