FRS Talking Points
Teachers and education employees earn their modest pensions through years of public service.
* Regardless of what you might hear from politicians in Tallahassee, pensions for teachers and education staff are modest.
* In general, public pensioners receive benefits either on par or below those in the private sector.
* Teacher pensions average about $325 per week. This has to cover rent or mortgage, utilities, transportation expenses, groceries, medicine, healthcare costs and other day-to-day expenses.
