[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is weird to me that people are so bitter about teacher salaries when the highest paid county employees (factoring in OT), aside from the council, administrators and managers, are police. What is more puzzling is that qualifications for becoming a police officer only require either an AA degree or prior active duty military that latter only requiring a HS diploma. Plus police have ridiculous pensions.

However, since by and large MCPD seem to be an extremely professional police department, very much unlike their counterparts in Fairfax County and DC, I personally don't mind it too much. But at least people can direct their ire at the right places.[/quote]

I have not problem with a police officer making more than a teacher...considering this person is actually risking his or her life.  Hardly a cushy job like teaching.[/quote]

Yes, my cushy teaching job sent me to the hospital on Friday.  One of my MS students threw a chair at me.  Luckily, I only sprained my wrist.  When I return to school tomorrow, no doubt this student will not have been suspended.  The same student has done the same thing in other classes.  The admin always wants a debrief about what we could've done to talk him down.  Well, maybe had I been there hours before when he started smoking pot, that might have helped.[/quote]
