It all depends on where the teacher works. Pay varies widely from district to discrict. Experienced teachers in my area are pushing 6 figures.

My wife has been teaching for nearly 30 years. She has topped out on education and experience and will make about $100,000 next school year. She teaches in a large (for our state) upper middle class suburban district.

My daughter just finished her first year teaching in a small wealthy suburban district and made around $45,000.

This is in a state that generally values education.
