I learned today that Texas pays a little over $6000 per student to each school. With 30 students in each class, that is $180,000 per classroom. You would think half of that intake would be paid to the instructor. Ziprecruiter says the average wage for teacher pay is around $50k in Austin TX.
That may be true to an extent, but pay has stagnated more and more each year.
Adjusted for inflation, a teacher’s salary in 1969 was well over $77,000. Today is at $60,000, with purchasing power being substantially lower.
