Stat of the day

The average teacher's salary in Washington is $65,902. Given the 10 month school year that works out to around $6600 per month.

In other DC school-related news the Obamas have decided to send their daughters to Sidwell Friends private school. Would be nice if liberals supported vouchers so that poor children could also be given education options, but that would mean breaking with the teacher's unions. Related stat: About a sixth of the delegates at the Democratic national convention this year belonged to a teachers union.
