[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The bottom line is that DCPS teachers are not underpaid.  In other areas they are but not in DC.[/quote]

Bottom line is they are. DC you need at least 130k to live comfortably, if you want to live here that is. 
Also if you want to argue we only need a BA even with a MS or PhD like I have it doesn't really change the fact that someone who also works for DCPS and only needs a HS diploma makes more than me.
All I am asking is the cap be a little higher than $117k at least $140k. I'm young and I have many impact scores and years in DC left but I'll be hitting that cap soon enough.

I'd like to leave my part time professor job but I need the money to live comfortably and pay off my student loans.

I don't just feel this way about teachers but police officers and firefighters, nurses, etc. too. A lot of times we do more than the 'leaders' yet their pays are double or triple. I don't expect that much but not so far off the difference is staggering. The US really needs to change this mindset. Without us APs and Principals are nothing.

Whatever the teacher turnover rate can stay one of the highest in the nation, obviously you don't actually care about education but just tut tuting teachers! lol  :roll:

Do you see what they pay university professors in the DMV, education in general severely underpaid for job but because there is enough teachers and more willing to step into shoes for now no willingness to make pay increases, also charter movement put a stop to that! It's supply and demand..
