A viral social media post comparing the earnings of private school teachers and domestic workers in Bengaluru has triggered a debate over school fees, teacher salaries and what parents actually receive for the money they spend on education. The post, shared by a finance content creator, highlights a striking comparison: private school teachers in the city may earn around ₹30,000 a month, while domestic workers employed in affluent housing societies can sometimes make more. The post also shared a podcast video carrying the caption, "Don't send your kids to expensive schools."
