[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that teachers need professional days. It will be interesting this year to see how many teachers turn around grades quickly or if there are grading mistakes since all the professional days were lumped at the beginning of this school year.

By the way teachers only get paid for 215 days of work. I suspect many work second jobs to cover the rest of the year.[/quote]

At our school the total budget for professional salaries is $3,937,235.[b] Averaged over the 46.1 professionals,[/b] that is $85,406.39 per year per professional. That's not half bad for 9 1/2 months work, summers off, most big holidays off, winter break, spring break. Not to mention benefits and addotional leave time on top of that. [/quote]

That number probably includes what HR people call the "roll up."  So you can't really average that to get salaries.  (For instance, if you make 50,000, your roll-up is probably between $60,000 and $100,000, depending on how cheap your employer is.)  The MCPS salaries are all available online, so it's not hard to find out what they actually make.  So, for instance, my daughter's teacher, who I think has a BA and about 4 years of experience, probably makes about $52,801.  My other child's teacher, who I think has a master's and about 10 years of experience, probably makes about $74,276.  It's not bad for 9 months of work, but not what I'd call easy money in this area.  Paralegals at the big law firms make more than that and have a much easier gig (with no need for a master's degree).[/quote]
