I couldn't find an exact number for a postman but I would imagine they stand toe to toe

I think it is a deserved salary for someone who spent 4 years in school and took a thankless job which is constantly framed in evil terms. Is there something wrong with education system? yes. Is a pay by performace system needed? maybe. First we have to nail down what the problem is and then we must define failure. The American education system has produced many great minds along with many derlicts.

You still have yet to tell me how growing up on the lake was.
Maybe you should go back and check your figures Strike. I gave you some good ones to work with that I took from BLS.gov.
Who cares if they spent 4 years in school if they cannot do their jobs? Why would I hire someone to do nothing because they are well schooled?
And what do you mean thankless? People treat teachers as if they are untouchable. Teachers are usually revered, and that is one of the problem as to why it is so hard to reform the education system. I hate to say it, but a good start would be to cut pay on teacher's salaries.
If they do not work a full year, then they should not be paid the wages of someone who does. They work a second job over the summer instead of going on vacations.
The fact is Strike, that American teachers have let the children who they are supposed to teach down, have let thier parents down, and have let their country down. There are literally kids in some of my college classes who have a hard time reading.
The first step in reforming education is to take down the teacher's unions. Before you do that, reform will never work.
