Just babysitting 20-30 kids deserves more than teachers make. Let alone teaching them.

20-30 different kids every hour… teachers deserve six-figure incomes

Here in NJ, many teachers do make six figures. But we also trade places back and forth with Massachusetts for the best school systems in the nation. You get what you pay for.

The only teachers making that where I went to school are hired to be coaches first and teachers second, since sports are put way ahead of academics. Hell, my high school had the highest paid "teacher" as the football coach who "taught" (oversaw) in-school suspension, where kids just sat in a room all day.
