Blackboard Jungle

While still awaiting the call to mediate the dispute between the BC Teachers Federation and the provincial government, we thought we would share this story of teachers' salaries, or, at least, one teacher's salary:

Some years ago, Ross School in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan had on its staff a bright young vice-principal named Dan Cameron. His future in education seemed assured. But when the school janitor retired, and that job came open, Dan applied for it. It paid more than his position as vice-principal.

Dan did not get the job. 

Not much later, however, Dan became a CBC producer, and, he was pleased to learn, this paid even more than the janitor's job.
