Red Car, SLOW DOWN!

We all know that teachers are underpaid.

Right?

It turns out that it's actually just that almost all teachers are underpaid. While trying to figure out what sales tax in DeKalb is, I found a document that listed the highest-paid public school employees for the 2003-2004 season in DeKalb County. Mr. Holt, the junior driver's ed instructor, made $91k.

True, he's the public school instructor most likely to be killed in the line of duty--or at least, he was when I was there; I understand that DHS is rapidly ghetto-izing these days--but Christ on a fucking crutch that's a lot of money.

Edit: here's the link for DeKalb County figures. No idea where to find the data for UIUC or anywhere else.
