[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don't they ever list a total salary for each teacher when talking about raises? One that includes benefits for health, pension, and other things that FCPS offers. The data is available. I think it makes for a better discussion. Many employees in other lines of work also have access to this information for their own jobs these days.[/quote]

They do. It's in this report:  http://www.fcps.edu/fs/budget/wabe/2015.pdf[/quote]

Ok, so rounded, the average salary is $102,000 for FCPS, $104,000 for Falls Church, $96,000 for Loudon, $108,000 for Arlington and $110,000 for Alexandra. FCPS pays several thousand more than other counties for health benefits. I don't see how FCPS's salaries are so out of line. What is the problem?[/quote]

Teachers easily get 3 more months than most other professions, but even if they work so much harder that they only get 2 months off, that would be an annual salary of about $120,000. $120,000 is probably is less than what an actual teacher makes per year once you factor in tutoring that most of them seem to do. At what point is it enough? Is it really the money or the fact that the job is too much to handle because the expectations are too high for anyone to achieve?[/quote]

I do not know a single teacher making the numbers you describe.  From that link, page 8 says the average salary is $66k.  You're quoting numbers almost double that.[/quote]
