the researchers said that when wages, benefits, and job security are accounted for, public school teachers are compensated 52 percent more than their skills would garner in the private sector.

A study by the Heritage Foundation? lol

Of course they think teachers are overpaid. Ignorant people tend to vote Republican. The worse the teachers, the more ignorant people, the more Republican voters.

I was wondering if any one dispute their finding?

Most teachers don't get into teaching for the money, that I know.

Sounds about right. Mrs. B was a teacher in a private school and was paid far, far less than her public school colleagues.

Excellent teachers are worth more than they are paid.
Inferior and mediocre teachers are paid more than they're worth.
