3/ it depends on whether they also have investments in property that they gain a rental income from, or are owners of businesses.
i.e. exactly the same way of deciding class as I would apply to any other profession

Obviously middle class, class isn't just simple and based on income, it's tied up with a whole host of other factors including social prestige and power, both of which teachers obviously have.

The coppers of the class room. School is capitals greatest dehumanising weapon, to shape the new layer of complient wage slave drones. Schools are just like prisons, but for kids. Their crime? Youth.

Is this supposed to be satire, Jack, or are you really this foolish?
