Larry Kudlow Thinks Teachers Make $120,000 Yearly [View all]

[Jefferson23]

Media pundit was interviewed on the Morning Joe Show where he asserted that teachers make $120,000. This, apparently, is an outrage, showing what leeches teachers are. Apparently you can say anything on these talk shows because they are about opinions, not facts or information or knowledge.

Of course, he was wrong. Rebecca Klein writes on Huffington Post that the average teachers’ salary is $56,393.

Kudlow said he was referring to New York City’s new teacher contract, but he was wrong there too. Klein wrote: “Under the new contract, the maximum salary of teachers is $119,565 per year –- but that is only after at least 22 years of experience in the classroom, a master’s degree and 30 additional academic credits. The starting salary of a teacher in the city is $54,411.”
