$32,000 per year. She has since moved to another where she cracked the $40K barrier. Has had dozens of interviews in the public school system, but no offers as the hiring process in our mobbed-up unionized school system is so incredibly corrupt (basically you have to be related to someone or know who to pay off).

I would be fine with paying teacher salaries north of $70K IF they were really among the best and brightest based on merit. In nearly all cases they are not. Unionized schools reward seniority and connections.
