[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also work for Fairfax County. Schools are funded to the detriment of other services. I have an MA and 10 years experience in my field but have not seen an increase above a non-fully funded CoLA since 2008 while teachers were getting grade and step increases. The retirement benefit keeps me here but I get paid about 25% less than other jurisdictions pay my specialty.

My kids go to school here and I appreciate the good schools and teachers but what would you cut to increase their pay?  [/quote]

What do you do, PP? If you're not in front of 30 kids every day and dealing with the insane parents this county attracts, then you don't deserve half whatever they pay the teachers.

I work in a very high-stress, on-call environment. I have volunteered occasionally in my child's classroom and have emerged thinking that a 3 a.m. crisis call is far preferable. The kids run the gamut from entitled to extremely needy, and they're all disrespectful to adults. Our teachers are saints.[/quote]
