[quote=Anonymous]All of the VA teachers that I worked with who came to DC for the money were either IMPACTed out within 2 years or voluntarily left. And while contractually teachers are supposed to get paid for missed preps and extra students admins have ways of getting around it. They will either not approve it saying that you get more than the contracted amount of prep time or will approve it then "lose" the paperwork so you never see the money in your check.
 I've never been paid for a loss prep in this district. [quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where are disgruntled teachers going to go? I’m a teacher in Virginia and the pay is crap and we hardly ever get a raise. [/quote]  :roll: [/quote]

Okay roll your eyes if you want but it’s the truth.

In DC teachers with a bachelors make $68 in their 10th year. Plus the chance of a big bonus.

In fairfax teachers make $61

Alexandria City is $67

PWCS $58

And not to mention there isn’t a powerful union backing up teachers in Virginia. DC teachers get money if their planning time is taken up. That would never ever happen where I teach.

Well come join us in DC then. Teachers do it every year and QUIT, so despite the salary (also a high cost of living) teachers quit in droves and head for Maryland and Virginia. There are always vacancies, some posted on idealist.org right now. And if you're not ready now, they hire more than 300 teachers every year.  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:
