Sorry, just needed a minute to catch my breath.
I suspect even in א”י, its more expensive to live in some places than others.
In the US, poverty level for a family of 4 is around $2200 / month. That is for a typical family, not including the increase costs for kosher food, yeshiva tuition, etc.
This also doesnt include healthcare, childcare, a d Kollel subsidies and other benifits that y’all take hand over fist in Israel.
So comparing the 2 is laughable.
Also, I literally dream of the day when teachers go into the business for the money. I think חינוך overall would greatly benifit from professionals who appreciate the value of their work. For the most part though most teachers in the US do if for the “מצוה”, which dilutes the market.
