[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who think teachers have “great benefits” don’t really want to listen otherwise. The benefits and pension are constantly getting chopped and nickel and dimed every year just like the private sector has gone through. Things are very different now even compared to just 10 years ago. The Great Recession forced the state and local school systems to cut back on benefits and pension by at least 20%. Now salaries and benefits and copays are getting getting a tiny bit worse every year or not keeping up with inflation. Schools systems are notorious for giving a cost of living increase but then raising premiums by an almost equal amount and then calling it a pay increase.[/quote] MCPS has far better salary and benefits than equal county government jobs. MCPS teachers get paid more than county social workers, nurses, public health folks, etc. who work 12 months vs. 10 months and are required to have a masters to even get the job.[/quote]
