Well, I don't know where you live, but where I live, $400K only gets you
a relatively decent starter home in an okay borderline/transitional
neighborhood. And it would be hard for a teacher to commute two hours
to work just so they can have an affordable house payment.

Well, that is a key example of what is wrong with our public
education system. Teachers rich enough for a half-million
dollar house, or dumb enough to get a loan that they cannot
afford. Either way, I wouldn't want them teaching my kids
anything, especially not economics.

My point is that we constantly hear about teachers being so
underpaid. Well, if that was true, then how could a teacher
afford to make payments on a $550K house? Either the underpaid
teacher thing is a big lie, or your district pays way too much
for teachers.
