I have recently started a jewelry buisness to make extra money. It is going to be a little tough to juggle it all, but I wanted a little extra spending money. Then I started thinking about how much work I do compaired to how much I get paid.

I work at school and at home to get it all done and I still fall short many days. Grading papers at home, writing lesson plans at home, and doing research for projects at home takes up many hours that I am not getting paid. I don't think I have read a "regular" book in a year. All this work and I still worry about paying for clothes for my kids or extracurricular activities.

I began to research and found this article. The US falls a little short on the pay scale compared to other countries. Take a look!

Take my quiz. How much do you think teachers should be paid?
