LETTERS. Taking Issue with a Salary Survey I have a question concerning the report reprinted from Forbes Forbes? , B(ertie) C(harles) 1880-1954.American publisher and businessman who founded and edited (1916-1954) Forbes magazine. His son Malcolm Stevenson Forbes magazine ("Headlines," October October:see month. 1998). Do these"average" teacher salary figures include administrators'salaries? Do they include higher education higher educationStudy beyond the level of secondary education. Institutions of higher education include not only colleges and universities but also professional schools in such fields as law, theology, medicine, business, music, and art. salaries? If they do, thenthe numbers are greatly misleading. There is a huge gap between thetypical teacher salary and typical administrator salary ... In addition,university professors with Ph.D. degrees also would offset the true"average" teacher pay. -- E-mail message from Oklahoma Interesting that you would publish an article comparingteachers' salaries to the average wage for all workers in a givenstate ("Headlines," October 1998). Most teachers I know havefour or five-year degrees, or have worked to become masters of a skilledtrade in order to teach. Why would you compare these good folks withminimum wage people? Why not engineers, doctors and other professionals? Michael Antonucci pulled a fast one here and you bought it.Let's keep the coverage fair. --Dave Crawfis Apollo Career Center Lima, Ohio Lima (IPA pronunciation: [laɪmə]) is a city in the U.S. state of Ohio and the county seat of Allen CountyGR6. Being a new subscriber to Techniques, I have found some very usefulinformation. However, in the October 1998 issue in the Headlinessection, "Teachers' Salaries Not So Low?" made me angry. I cannot imagine a vocational teachers' magazine publishingsuch a chart that compares teachers to average workers. Why not compareteachers to the attorney or doctor? The average worker works from 8 to5, period. They show up, do some work, take a break, do some work, havean hour for lunch, do some work, take a break, do some work, go home. Compare that to the teacher who must prepare at least 55 minutes ofteaching for five classes per day, five days per week--no coffee breaks,half an hour for lunch, one hour for planning (now there is a realbreak).

I have a major problem being compared to the averageworker in my state or any state. --Stanley R. Bradbury, teacher Campbell Co.

First, "teachers" includes only (K-12) teachers, and notadministrators. Second, "average" was used in this study todescribe a midway Midway,island group (2 sq mi/5.2 sq km), central Pacific, c.1,150 mi (1,850 km) NW of Honolulu, comprising Sand and Eastern islands with the surrounding atoll. Discovered by Americans in 1859, Midway was annexed in 1867. A cable station was opened in 1903. between extremes--in this case salary extremes, noteducation or job dedication. The average wage for all workers in eachstate was determined by including just that -- all workers. Thatincludes attorneys, engineers, physicians, university professors andCEOs, as well as all those with low-paying jobs. Antonucci's studygave the average wage for each state and then went on to illustratewhere teachers' salaries fit in. Contact Antonucci at (916) 422-4373 or EducIntel@aol.com
