[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m just highlighting the BS that they cry about way too often. I know MANY teachers. I know not one who stays more than 30 minutes past their contract time. My pint is that they should consider other employment if they do not like their salary and benefits. [/quote]

That’s because they are planning and grading late in the evening after their kids go to bed and on the weekends. I’m in IT consulting and my mom was a teacher. My job is way easier.

When I am running late, it’s not a big deal. I don’t have 20+ people waiting for me. 
When I need a break between meetings I can take one. 
If I am sick, I can work from home.
When I am out I don’t have to find a sub and plan their work for them.!
I can take my vacation and make my Dr appt when I want, within reason. 
I can take a long lunch if I want.
I can go to another company without losing the benefits of my tenure and experience. 
And about a million other things. [/quote]

First and foremost, excluding a few bad apples, thank you to all teachers for educating the children.

I used to work for FCPS Dept. of IT in 1996 and my salary was 60k/yr with 3 years of IT experience, grade US-24 I think.  I am quite sure that a teacher with 3 years of teaching experience would have made 60k/yr in 1996.  I couldn't understand why IT people in FCPS made more than teachers. Go figure.
