The median income in the US, $56,300
Median income for Secondary and Primary school teachers, $67,340.
For secondary and primary school administrators, $103,000.
Guess who controls salaries and raises!
94% of primary and secondary school teachers surveyed say the spend on average, $500-600 per year on supplies for schools.
Edit to add
No one has bothered to ask anyone else how much they spend on supplies for work, I'm curious. Lots of skilled but working class folks too, carpenters and what not often own their own tools for instance. My employer pays for some supplies but not all.

Do teachers work really long hours? Not really.

Does the US underfund primary and secondary education? Only if you think the rest of the world does too.

Has the US increased or decreased spending on primary and secondary education since you were a kid? Almost certainly not.

Why do I care, the widespread misconceptions about education in the US.

Our education system is mediocre but if we are wrong about what the current state of things is, well, we won't be able to come up with a fix that works.
Most Americans think we spend less than $4000 dollars per pupil per year. If that were true, then more spending would be in order but its not, we spend 3 times that and more than almost any other country per pupil. More money wont fix our problems. Our problem is more about spending priorities, attracting good teachers, and probably methods used for teaching.
