teachers are paid so poorly because it's a female-dominated field. Let's just be honest about this.
Moments ago, I pledged that at the end of my first term as president we'll close the teacher pay gap with the largest federal investment in teacher pay in American history. No teacher should have to work 2-3 jobs to survive. That’s wrong. I’m ready to do something about it.pic.twitter.com/opgTKHiSLm

the average salary of a public school teacher is $56k a year. that $5,600 a month considering teachers usually only work 10 months a year. they have all holidays off and extended breaks as well. btw, I thought teachers didn't do it for the money?

I really wish y’all would list other helping professions along with this. I love my teachers. I appreciate everything they do but there is a team of professionals that works with youth that should be included in this mix
