In any case, anecdotes do not and cannot disprove the actual statistics.
Also, if you live in a country that actually respects intelligence, I’d HOPE your teachers are actually paid well. Sadly, the US despises intelligence right now…
In dying rural areas in the US teachers are generally some of the best paid. Its mostly in cities where their pay lags. But no, they live in the US in LA(CA, not the state). Also, FYI just because I live in one country doesn’t mean its the same my grandparents live in.
They’re a liar for attempting to use an anecdote to disprove a trend. That’s basic, basic manipulation tactics. Manipulation is wrong, misleading, and arguably lying when misusing data.
They never said anything about a trend. They said not all teachers are poor. That doesn’t mean they were disagreeing that teachers tend to be underpaid.
My grandparents were both teachers and are rich. Granted one was a professor, but the other a public school teacher.

Ahh yes, California, a state that pays more, AND in LA, where wages are WAY higher because cost of living is way higher…
Thank you for describing why your anecdote is an outlier and DEFINITELY doesn’t prove any norm.
Where did I say it was the norm??? You called someone a liar for giving an anecdote. Outliers do happen…

Context matters. The only reason to bring it up after the trend has been correctly stated is to try and gaslight people about how real the trend is.
Stop being willfully dense. It’s beyond pathetic.
Or to point out something that is true and important to recognize. Average trend doesn’t mean everyone.
Stop being so quick to see others as villains, its childish.
