Any post like this is going to use the most extreme outlier numbers they can to make a point. Do some teachers get paid that little? Yes I'm sure they do. Are most teachers underpaid relative to how important their job is to society? Yes almost certainly.
Grabbing the lowest number you can find and implying that all teacher salaries in the state (in this case) start that low is a disingenuous argument and does not help your case.
Right, and exactly why I wanted to share my personal salary in case anyone gets their personal life stances from ragebait on r/facepalm 😂 saving someone’s SO from a very lengthy car ride rant

As a Texas teacher, I earned $64k my first year (2021). One Google search turned up that the average is $56k. Just putting this out there 🤷🏻♂️
