[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where I live a new teacher makes something like $40k and the 50+ teachers are making between $80 and $90k. To me this discrepancy seems unfair because the young teacher's job is just as difficult as the older teacher. With nurses I understand this a bit more because an experienced nurse will have to pick up a lot of slack if her coworkers are brand new and clueless.[/quote] Excellent point. I think it should be 75-100 to start and experienced teachers closer to 200k with expectation that they spend last 2-3 years of teaching training and helping some of the newer teachers. New teachers in first5 years notoriously have difficulty with classroom behavior management, organization, and dealing with administrative issues. It would be nice if they built in some ongoing support systems for many of them. At that point most older teachers are just counting the days to retirement anyways, it might be a nice change of pace for them. [/quote]
