Don't Feel Bad For Detroit Teachers On Strike
A parent quoted by CNN says she was supporting the striking teachers of the Detroit public school district because they can't provide for their families "if their salaries are continually being cut."
Whether you agree or disagree with the striking teachers, it should not be out of sympathy for their low pay. The median salary (without counting benefits) of workers in Detroit, Michigan are as follows:
Detroit Elementary School Teachers: $52,727
Detroit High School Teachers: $54,979
Detroit Households In General: $28,069

Detroit is one of the poorest cities in the nation. You are comparing apples and rotten apples here. Most teachers have earned and paid for a masters degree and would be making 10 thousand more a year in another industry.
