You’re a smart guy who understands data and how to use Google. Where would you place Alberta teachers compared with their university-educated peers?

Perhaps you should leave the conversation to smart people and those who know how to use Google, then, because there isn’t much value in popping in to add low value information that others need to contextualize and correct.
Highlighting the median and then saying “See? the maximum a teacher can make is good! Anyone who doesn’t think that is delusional!” is a silly comment for both the comparison of median (with the assumption that all post-grad work is created equal) to max and the suggestion that anyone has said it’s not good. I’m not sure you’re providing the value you believe you’re providing, but I’m confident you believe you’re providing it. Unfortunately that doesn’t do much for anyone else.
