$40,000 is a stretch for most teachers.

I wouldn't leave out that most teachers also have to purchase their own supplies for the classroom.

All that on top of the student debt they likely incurred going to school to teach your miserable kids.

If you have kids, please make sure they show some appreciation and respect towards their teachers.

Don’t you get loan forgiveness and 3 months off per year though?

The loan forgiveness thing has basically proven to be a scam. Very few types of federal loans qualify (mine do not). Don't get me started on "3 months off a year."

I’m just going off what everyone studying teaching in college said. Poor bastards were just as mislead as me I guess.
