Most Americans Think Teachers Are Underpaid

Maybe it's because your mom's one, or your Aunt Suzie, or your Brother Jim. Maybe it's because you've had your life touched, or moved, or shaken by a few of them. Whatever the reason, people care about teachers, and how much they make. When AOL Jobs wrote of a report that claimed teachers were overpaid, our inbox was flooded with rage. It turns out that those furious readers stand with the majority of Americans. A new poll shows that more than half of Americans feel that teachers don't earn enough money, and young Americans, minority Americans, female Americans, and Americans who vote Democratic feel the most strongly about it.
