If the secretary required seven years of post-secondary education, it would be fair to give him the same pay. Of course the secretary would also have to know how to teach.

The point is, guest, that I can do secretarial work but it is a waste of my skills and training. In addition, it is doubtful whether or not a secretary has the skills to teach, especially those students who require alternate methods of instruction. If a secretary wants to teach, they can earn their degree the same way I did and get a teacher's pay.

I doubt very much if parents would want their children taught by secretaries but if the public school system continues to mis-use their teachers, that is exactly what will happen. I want to teach. If I wanted a secretarial job, I wouldn't have removed myself from the work force to get a teaching degree.
