Well when it comes to education West Virginia certainly validates you get what you pay for.
Let me ask you this, would it concern you that engineer who built the bridge you were driving over is only paid the median for house hold incomes? Do you really think you’ll get a well constructed and safely built bridge by hiring the person willing to accept the lowest wage and uses outdated technology and obsolete materials?
West Virginia median pay for teachers and financial funding is among the lowest in the nation and guess where West Virginia ranks nationally in educational attainment?
You're Never Alone With A Schizophrenic!
Let me ask you this; would it concern you that the pilot who is flying that commuter jet/plane is only being paid an average of $40K?? After all, it is just your life at stake right?
As of 2012, the salary range for regional airline pilots was $16,500 to $60,000

$40,000 is shit for a person with a college degree and probably a masters or at least working on one. $40,000 is shit when one has to purchase supplies for their clients.
How many hours do you work off the clock?
How supplies do you buy for your clients?
How much counseling do you offer to your clients?
Average teacher salary is $75K where I live.
I worked on full commission for years. So I was 'working' 24/7. I go no paid breaks. I didn't get three months off for summer. I had to pay all kinds of expenses in running our business.
Edit: I responded to your post about a living wage. Having a masters is irrelevant. How is $40K not a living wage? Do you know anyone living on the streets who makes that much?

I had no idea they have made you the "decider" of what is a fair wage. This is about what they pay the typical airline commuter pilot. They have to have an engineering degree and approximately 500 hours flying in type. Yet you morons don't whine about their pay; why is that? It was a rhetorical question.

I’m well aware of expense write-offs for business.
Requiring self-paid continuing education is very relevant. As well as pay being equated with advanced degrees.
$40,000 a year equates to around $15.00 an hour for the hours teachers I know put in. Shit wages.
Do teachers have to die or live on the street for you?
Bullshit! The US SPENDS MORE MONEY ON EDUCATION THAN ANY OTHER NATION ON EARTH but provides a quality of education that ranks 37th in the world in relation to the basic and fundamental disciplines of the 3 "Rs". For instance......the education budget for state and local coffers averages about 870 BILLION a year from the collected total of some 3.2 Trillion in collected tax funds at the state and local level. That's more than 28% of the total budget that goes to EDUCATION. That figure of spending tops all other government spending in any other sectors....almost doubling the outlay for WELFARE SPENDING.
The Education System in the US does not have a funding problem but a SPENDING PROBLEM. The Government is not efficient at all....everything it touches goes to shit in a handbasket.....this giant Bureaucracy wastes Billions (800+ Billion since 1992) each fiscal year, more than enough to give the teachers a 50% raise across the board.
Its a documented fact......taxpayers have witnessed a 27% increase in their tax dollars going to Education.....but our teachers have seen a 2% average decrease in salaries across the board since 1992.
The major problem? For every new student enrolled in our public school systems across the nation.....Big Brother has hired 4 new employees per student...the vast majority of which were not TEACHERS....but bloated STAFFS. http://www.thefederalist.com/2017/05...on-since-1992/
Then we must consider the source....PBS, who gets a great deal of funding from the coffers (422 Million per year that go toward local and state TV stations and PBS, NPR, etc.)) of the US TREASURY.
Is it any wonder they are standing like a beggar with their hat in their hands asking, "MORE SOUP PLEASE?"
When is enough, ENOUGH? When will the problem/disease be addressed instead of "wasting" countless billions treating the symptoms of the disease known as a Bloated Bureaucracy? This is what happens when some government Bureaucrat thousands of miles away tells the local school broads where their ass is itching and where and when to scratch it.

Leaving aside your projection the whole "battle for $15" is that $15 is a living wage. Now you're claiming it isn't. Whether teachers deserve more than $40K in Oklahoma is a different topic. But they are making a living wage.
Edit: How about draw an org chart showing the money allocated for education and how much of it is siphoned off before it reaches the teachers and the classroom. We'll get a better understand of why teachers lack supplies.
