[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you all for your concern about teachers salaries! Indeed, it’s tremendously challenging to support your family in DC on a teacher’s salary. We all wish we could avoid taking second jobs to get by!

As you have learned during the pandemic, spending the day with your 1-3 children can be exhausting! I know you empathize with teachers spending their day with 25-30 children! And then going to a second job!

Here’s something you can do to help reduce teachers’ dependence on second jobs:  email the Chancellor and Mayor and demand an increase in teachers salary!  
Mayor Bowser eom@dc.gov
Chancellor Ferebee  lewis.ferebee@dc.gov

Until covid, teachers had been alone in their advocacy for a wage increase. Please know how much your children’s teachers appreciate your support![/quote]

DC has the highest paid public school teachers in the country. We have art teachers who make six figures. They make more than college professors.

I’d say the bigger problem is teachers wanting to continue to collect their full salaries even as they refuse to go to work.[/quote]

This argument is cherry picking and it shows your vindictive nature.

Washington DC is the 3rd-5th most expensive place to live IN THE WHOLE COUNTRY.

NOT ALL TEACHERS MAKE 100k, and stop saying 6 figures like it could be in the upper or even middle rage. 100k-117k is the last salary step, it takes years and years to get there and every year the cost of living goes up.

The bigger problem is snooty and vindictive people who look down on teachers. Teachers were tutoring before this and will continue to because they deserve the best quality of life. Why should teachers not be paid like a doctor or lawyer?

School? Many teachers have a masters degree. Also there are many jobs that make way over 130k with just 1 degree.
Demand? There is a shortage of teachers across the nation, including DCPS.

The truth is teachers aren’t respected very much and this pandemic sure sheds a light on what some of you really think.
