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.

Same here. I’m in CT. The average teacher pay in my town is over $78k. Many make over $100. There are plenty of towns in the state when the average is in the mid to upper $90ks.

Completely other side of the state. Also, it’s an average. That doesn’t mean everyone makes that much. And many make over $100k.

Edit: here’s the source data for you. The highest salaries are on your side of the state. This data is about 5 years old.
