I don’t buy that teachers don’t get paid enough for back up childcare. [b]The average teacher salary in Arlington is 80-100k.[/b] There is no reason they can not afford childcare care. All other employees from mall workers, grocery workers, sanitation workers, waitresses come to work. They make less than what the teachers make. This is now more about a woke, progressive culture taking over N Virginia to such an extreme level that people are looking out for themselves instead of the greater good and not taking personal responsibility. These people have no sense of professionalism anymore or duty. Dr Duran is a prime example of someone from that woke culture who will put employees first before students because he believes whole heartedly that this school system exists to employ teachers rather than a system made to educate the city’s children[/quote]

Source? I know teachers in APS that have worked there 10-12 years who are making $70K. With master's degrees.[/quote]

We’ve had a ton of salary freezes over the past 12 years or so- the only teacher making 80k-100k have been there at least 20 years. Not comparable to most other professionals in this area with masters degrees.[/quote]

And the ones making that much probably don’t have elementary aged kids.[/quote]

That’s right.  People making closer to $100K are either PhDs and/or have more than 20 years in.  I am a master’s + 30 with almost 15 years, and I’m not making $100K.  I’m not really complaining, but when people start getting petty about snow days and the fact that my schedule aligns with my children’s, I have to say, that’s a part of the job that makes up for the salary.  Always has been.[/quote]
