At the moment, the average teacher’s pay is on par with that of a toll taker or bartender.Teachers make 14 percent less than professionals in other occupations that require similar levels of education. In real terms, teachers’ salaries have declined for 30 years. The average starting salary is $39,000; the average ending salary — after 25 years in the profession — is $67,000. This prices teachers out of home ownership in 32 metropolitan areas, and makes raising a family on one salary near impossible.

So how do teachers cope? Sixty-two percent work outside the classroom to make ends meet. For Erik Benner, an award-winning history teacher in Keller, Tex., money has been a constant struggle. He has two children, and for 15 years has been unable to support them on his salary. Every weekday, he goes directly from Trinity Springs Middle School to drive a forklift at Floor and Décor. He works until 11 every night, then gets up and starts all over again. Does this look like “A Plan,” either on the state or federal level?

We’ve been working with public school teachers for 10 years; every spring, we see many of the best teachers leave the profession. They’re mowed down by the long hours, low pay, the lack of support and respect.

在那时，老师的平均工资和收费员和酒保在一个水平上。老师的工资跟相同学历的其他职业比少了百分之14。实际上，教师年薪在过去30年里一直在下降。新教师平均年薪仅有$39000；有着25年教学经验的老教师的平均年薪大概是$67000. 这导致生活在32个大都市地区的教师买不起房子。仅凭这一份工资来养活一个家庭已接近不可能。
老师们是如何应对这一难题的呢？百分之62在学校外找了另一份工作. 即便Erik Benner是一个屡获殊荣的历史老师，经济上也一直很困难。他住在德州的Keller市，有两个孩子。15年来光用他在学校赚的工资他根本无法抚养他的孩子。每个工作日，Erik在Trinity Springs Middle School教书放学后就直接去Floor and Decor开挖掘机（叉车）。每晚他都工作到11点，第二天又做同样的事情，同样的工作。无论在州或者联邦的角度上，这看起来想一个计划吗（或这看起来像是一个解决方案吗？）？
我们跟公立学校的教师一起工作十年了，期间很多非常好的老师离职了。他们离职的原因很简单：漫长的工作日，低收入和对教师支持与尊重的缺乏（原意：他们被漫长的工作日，低收入和对教师支持与尊重的缺乏给割倒了）。
