I didn't say anything about the quality of the benefits. The prior PP, who identifies as a teacher with 16 years experience, said "The benefits are great but I can’t pay my bills with them." Clearly that PP does not think the benefits are horrible. And yes, if you work for MCPS, your employer pays for a larger share of your health insurance than county government or neighboring school systems do for their employees. Your health plans do not have deductibles and your copays are between $10-$25. MCPS is the only Maryland school system to provide a pension supplement for its employees. Your pension is not integrated with Social Security, so your benefits do not go down when you reach Social Security retirement age. [b]For those of us that don't work for MCPS, that sounds pretty good.[/b] I agree the salaries are nothing to write home about, especially in a high cost area like this, but they are comparable to other school systems in the area. And I don't know about you, but it has never been a secret that teaching is not going to earn you big bucks. It's not terrible, but it's not great either. [/quote]
