Yep, another thing that throwing money could solve. Imagine how much more attention students could get if classrooms maxed out at like 15. There's a reason expensive private schools advertise small classes.

Highly variable by district, and even school.

Well you said they were the only things... we need to do more.

Average in orrgon is 77k. But don't forget the pensions and such. In most other jobs, retirement money comes out of your pay. In states that have decent teachers unions (always blue it seems), it is on top of the salary. And it usually includes access to subsidized healthcare insurance for life. (All assuming you meet the retirement criteria).
