[quote=Anonymous]Sounds like you worked for a principal with integrity. Many principals in DCPS lie and cheat their way to central office. [quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where are disgruntled teachers going to go? I’m a teacher in Virginia and the pay is crap and we hardly ever get a raise.

Okay roll your eyes if you want but it’s the truth.

In DC teachers with a bachelors make $68 in their 10th year. Plus the chance of a big bonus.

In fairfax teachers make $61

Alexandria City is $67

PWCS $58

And not to mention there isn’t a powerful union backing up teachers in Virginia. DC teachers get money if their planning time is taken up. That would never ever happen where I teach.

I understand your plight. I hated every minute in DCPS, but the money was great. With all of the teachers who were quitting midyear, our principal had no choice but to make sure that we got every dime of admin premium. I can't remember if it was $35 or $45 an hour, but I brought home at least an extra $500 every check. I covered classes every single day during my planning period, went to every "optional" Saturday PD, and logged every hour for staying after school until 4:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays for tutoring. I also got paid an extra $40 for having more than the maximum number of students in one of my classes.

With all of those bonuses, I took at least a $10k paycut when I left DCPS. I'm definitely feeling the impact financially, but the peace of mind is worth every time. [/quote][/quote]
