[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be interested for 75k.[/quote]

Teach for 10 years with a masters (and hope for semi regular step increases) and then you can make that.

But yeah, the bottom line is no one is going to fill these positions unless they increase pay significantly, which seems to be the one thing the county refuses to do. Things are going to get way worse before they get better unless pay scales change.

Former colleagues left this summer to do real estate, HR in construction, conference planning for a consulting company. All signed on to make at least $20k more than their experienced teacher salary.[/quote]

No, the pay isn't the problem.  The problem is stress, bad administration/micromanagement, and too little autonomy.  Raising pay isn't going to retain stressed unhappy teachers.[/quote]

The pay is a huge part of the problem. You can offset a ton of work related stress if you aren’t also worried about paying your bills. [/quote]

This 100%. It’s miserable going from a high stress position where you’re disrespected by many to a house that you can’t afford to keep up. [/quote]
