Answer by  MaryanneCampbell (33)

The average NBA player's salary is about $20 million, which is justified in the sense that a teacher's personal life is not scrutinized by society. If Tiger Woods was your kid's teacher, and had extramarital affairs, would it make broadcast news, or just be school gossip amongst teachers and affiliates?

The average salary for an NBA player is $4,900,000. It seems hard to justify when the average salary of a teacher in the US is $40,000, but a job is worth what people will pay for it. Perhaps we really need to question why our nation is willing to pay athletes in the millions and educators below the national average
