Longevity of a career is not justification for any particular salary, I don't get the correlation.
Whether teachers make enough, not enough, or too much is not the point. My point was that an inspiring teacher has more value in my opinion than a MMA athlete.
Those involved in high risk short term careers I'm sure would disagree with you.
On your second point, well I certainly would agree with your statement. However, when in the history of the world has compensation been based on society value? We would most definitely live in a much more enlightened world if this was true.
On your third point (the demeaning one), I learn differently so my opinion on teachers maybe shaded. I apologize if I offended the teacher crowd. However sir, there this no need to feel sorry for me. I always knew I learned differently and adjusted accordingly. And I was most fortunate to have inspirational family members surround me and therefore never needed a teacher to inspire me.
If duration and risk are the factors we should use for compensation a Miner in China or a front line soldier should be some of the highest paid people on the planet.
Again, I was not arguing for more or less pay for teachers. If anything, I was balking at where society has driven salaries of some professional athletes and you can add to that the Kardashians.
The fact that you learn differently than others and that you never had a teacher that was able to adapt to your learning style and provide an inspiration is a pity.
