    Edit: someone brought to my attention that I read that wrong, so I apologise. But the point still stands in that case: the title makes it seem that the fast food workers having a fair wage is the problem, when the problem is that teachers are underpaid.

    See, this is why it’s good to at least skim the article. Even when you corrected yourself, you’re still wrong.

    I also took the headline to mean teachers might make better pay doing fast food work. But this is about the cafeteria workers who make even less. It’s about people with an opportunity to move laterally (food) to make more money, not people giving up something they went into because of some passion (the reason teachers put up with the shit pay) for more money.

    I just went back and searched the article. “Teacher” does not appear on the page.
