Re: Teachers ARE overpaid and lazy....
Ditto. Scroll down, please. These statistics are 5 years old, so they are worthless.

Ok, note that this is true. Also note that this is incredibly misleading, as we are pointing to a specific district within hundreds in a city, and hundred of thousands in the US.
Also note that your original quote included a pension plan, which is certainly worth a lot in a teacher's salary, subtracting that is a lot too.
I'd bet only 10% of schools on that list actually have an average 70k salary.
