Why can't teachers stop whining about salaries?

Register Q. If I
hear one more time about how teachers are paid less than the
private sector, I'm going to scream. What do you think a person
with a four-year degree and no experience should earn? Also, take
into consideration that they work less than 200 days a year and
have a lifetime of pension income and no or very little health
insurance costs that also cover their dependents. I realize that
the teachers unions have to keep this myth alive to remain viable.
Please just stop the whining! I have to go now, I am 62 years old
and got to get back to work ... I don't have a pension…
