I have a PhD and was offered a position with DCPS a year ago and the salary was 65k. [/quote]

😱 This is tragic. WTF is wrong with this country. [/

A
Lot, but not because a phd is getting paid what every other teacher in dcps is getting paid. The problem is that someone is getting a PhD to work in k-12
 Do you also expect your manicurist to get paid the same as your neurologist? [/quote]

I work at another DC private. Several of my fellow teachers have PhDs. Why would it be unusual to you that someone highly educated would wish to work in education? Are you suggesting that K-12 teaching isn’t “worth” a PhD? I have a Masters, as do almost all of my colleagues, and most of us are continuing education in various ways. It is not unusual for educators to be highly educated. Instead of saying PhDs don’t belong in K-12 education, perhaps we should value education more and pay accordingly so additional highly-educated people consider the field. [/quote]

+100. Educators should be paid more. [/quote]
