There are certainly places where teachers should be making more money.  Schools
though, waste huge sums of money in an attempt to educate.  There are (private)
schools that do a better job for less money without depriving the teachers.
Maybe the public system should use them as a model.

If a teacher cannot afford to live within an hour of the public school (note
public, not private) that they work in, then I think they are underpaid.  Of
course, the same goes for firemen, police, etc, etc.

I have a friend in Mountain View with a combined (with girlfriend) income of
around $200K.  They can't afford a house within a reasonable commute either.
Good luck with Sun-ny Florida.  ;-)
