[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]to answer the OPs question because they are historically female-dominated professions. And well... that is how we treat women.[/quote]

What's the basis for this claim, particularly with teachers. Please show how teacher's salaries are out of line with those of other local government employees. Let's look at Fairfax, for example. A teacher with a BA starts at $53K for 195 day year. An Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney (ie, a prosecutor) starts at $59K. The ACA has a JD and works the full year. I've never seen anyone claim that prosecutors are  historically female dominated profession. So, please explain how the teacher's salary is unfair? [/quote]
but a lawyer can opt into those jobs- they have options. there are very HIGH paying lawyer jobs, and lower paying ones. that's not the case with teachers; if you want higher pay you have to move into administration etc. which is an entirely different job. [/quote]

Are you really suggesting that teachers should make as much as law firm partners? And as PP already said, teachers already make as much as many gov attorneys...

The combination of sheer greed and lack of self-awareness is just astonishing  :roll: [/quote]
