If you currently count the pension benefits, the medical retirement benefits, and the current medical benefits, you're looking at average compensation of well over $100,000 per year for a teacher earning $43,348 per year in salary who retires after 25-years and collects a pension.

I'd hardly call that starving. Let's also not forget the tuition reimbursement as well.

Public servants, including teachers, are getting a superior deal not available to similar jobs in the private sector. The average compensation for a public sector job is 44% higher than the private sector.

Maybe not, but I'd sure take their pension and medical benefits while working at a second career that also offers a pension and medical benefits in real retirement.
