reparations & exploitation

[LeoCasey at aol.com]

Interesting, but I wonder:
(a) if it is only full-time college and university teachers, so that the 
part-time adjunct is removed from the equasion, thus inflating the figure;
(b) how much the pre-K and K teacher salary is undercut by the inclusion of 
very low wage child care workers who work outside of a school setting;
(c) where the elementary and secondary school teacher would fall.

As a general rule, K-12 teachers are the most  poorly paid professionals with 
that level of education.

Power concedes nothing without a demand.
It never has, and it never will.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress.
Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation are men who 
want crops without plowing the ground. They want rain without thunder and 
lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters.
-- Frederick Douglass --
