Credentialed teachers are a big thing with teachers unions. Private schools often use people who do not have teaching credentials, people who teach because they either want to 'give back' or simply because they love to teach, they do not do it for the money.

We live in a country where on average we spend $9K to $10k per student. Why does it cost so much to share knowlege with our children? To say the system needs to be fixed top to bottom is an understatement.

I would bet if we gave you $100k/year and 10 children to teach, you would do a hell of a job (well actually for business, economics and political science you would have to send them to me so they have a fighting chance in life, otherwise you would do fine) and not think you were under paid.
