Public school teachers are overcompensated. Period. $75k a year, 10 weeks off, then a 1.1 MILLION pension is outrageous. Further, that pension is a antique "defined benefit" pension, invented when the US economy was growing and jobs were normally for 30 years. That is NO LONGER the case in our modern workforce, and this system confines teachers in their jobs, many of when would move on otherwise, but they cant because they lose it all. Change to a 401K system now, and reduce the pay to what it actually costs to hire a certificated classroom teacher. In a private school, thats about $45k.
