[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is $50000 for 9-10 months of work not a great salary? She is not making much less than engineers if you extrapolate for the months she is off. [/quote] OP here -- this is what I mean. If it is such a great salary for only 10 months of work, why aren't candidates for teaching lining up around the block looking for jobs? How can there possibly be a teacher shortage and why are teachers leaving the profession in such large numbers?[/quote] It 50K for ten months of work but at 40-60 hours a week. Why are they leaving? entitlement kids, annoying parents, unsupportive admin...that's just the tip of the iceberg.[/quote] Realistically 45 seems more accurate and it's just 180 days not including sick days etc.[/quote] 180 days is three weeks short of our 194 day contract in Fairfax County. Many districts in VA have a standard contract of 200 days.[/quote]
