Friend of mine has a sister that’s a teacher. She was arguing they should be paid more (as we all do, nothing wrong with that) and she was pointing to the fact that she has friends making $80,000+ a year doing different non-teaching jobs. She was making roughly $60,000/yr teaching so I pointed out that her friends work year round and she works 3/4 of the year so they are being paid the same rate for their labor. She didn’t understand. Didn’t matter how we drew it up on paper, diagrams, etc... she couldn’t grasp it. She’s a math teacher...

ouch.
Teachers should be required to take an IQ test and make at least a 100. The people teaching kids ought to be above average, not below.
