[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s hard to find teachers because of all the credentialing involved in Maryland. If some of the licensing is relaxed, people will run to get MCPS jobs for the high salaries and amazing benefits. Private schools have no issues finding teachers because they don’t subscribe to the same credentialing rules. And no, you don’t need all those credentials to be a great teacher . [/quote]

High salaries? My DS just graduated from college last spring. He got his first job right away and made more money in his first year of working than I make in my 16th year of teaching. Maybe they look like high salaries for teachers who have high earning spouses but not for many of us. The benefits are great but I can’t pay my bills with them. [/quote]

The benefits mean you don't have as many bills, and you don't have to save as much for retirement. It is real money.

But yes if your goal is to make a high salary, don't go into teaching and don't go into government. There are always going to be people with less experience who make more money than you do. It doesn't mean your salary is "low".[/quote]

How many days of vacation does your DS get? Is he off all summer, two weeks at Christmas, a week in spring, etc? Teachers work part-time. [/quote]

Wow. You’re actually the stupidest person to ever post on DCUM. Congratulations! Teachers have a contract. They work within those contracted hours. Just like other contract employees. No one works part time. They work within a contract. How is it 2021 and people are still out here spewing such ignorant and uneducated remarks? [/quote]

Exactly. I’m a government contracted and I have weeks off at a time based on my contract agreement. I don’t work year round. No one has ever accused me of working part time. Seriously, the ignorance around teachers is asinine.[/quote]
