This article discusses how the paychecksdor some teachers in certain cities are much lower than they should be. Teachers in certain cities can reach max pay salary of over $100,000 very quickly, while in other cities it takes over 30 years to make that much money. Techera need to be payed more from the start so that they can base their lives off the job and stick around longer. With too low of a pay, teachers can't live the lives normal middle class people would because they have to wait for a long time to get a raise. The main point this article gets at is that teachers should be able to reach their max salary much quicker than they do now.
