"I’ve been teaching for 17 years, and I’ve been working two or three jobs since 2003 just to be able to afford to live in New York City." says Binh Thai, a humanities teacher at a middle school in NY "Almost every person I know who teaches has either a second or a third job. I’m 41 and I have always had to live with roommates to split the rent." Since the first U.S. public-school system was established in Massachusetts in 1647, many localities have struggled to pay teachers and searched for people willing to do the job for less. In the mid-1800s, California superintendent of public instruction John Swett lamented that the work of teachers was not “as well-paid as the brain labor of the lawyer, the physician, the clergyman, the editor.” In June, the Supreme Court ruled that public­-sector unions can’t mandate fees from nonmembers—a decision that experts estimate could cost influential teachers’ unions money and clout. And in August, the Arizona supreme court blocked a ballot initiative that would have added $690 million annually to state education funding. "With my education and my background, I can certainly make more than I’m making as a teacher." says Thai, "But just the draw of teaching and the energy that it brings ultimately made me stay."
