Yeah, also salaries are wildly different between these countries. This is a really not apples to apples

This is PPP (purchasing power parity), so that gap should be corrected at least partially

Nah, that spins average income. US teachers are paid so low it's like victimization.

You're right, teacher salaries are lower in the US than many of these countries.

Montana starting teacher salaries are on par almost with Luxembourg teens working the first day of their first job. One of these needs a 4yr degree and the trust to work with developing minds; can you spot which one?
