Key words were "After Scholarships." Don't forget the cost of those schooling hours NOT going to having a job which makes money, the $3k or so in books that you're likely forgetting about, AND all the other materials that you need for school as a whole (as in Ball State now requires it's education majors to purchase a MacBook as part of their program.)
I'm not saying that teachers are the best thing in the world, and I do believe many of them suck. What I am saying is they are far better than the bottom of the food chain treatment several of you are giving them. Should teachers bitch about the money? No. Should they bitch about their career choice? No. Do they deserve respect from those who have never even TRIED to teach a class, let alone be in that position for one day? Yes.
