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. [/quote]

I teach at an R1 university with a PhD and a tenure track position and I make about 65K.  This seems pretty good for a high school teacher who doesn’t have any pressure to publish.  [/quote]

There's a fantasy that all college faculty are comfortably tenured with 6-figure salaries and an easy life.  Pull back the curtain, and the picture is not so pretty.  Teaching in a high school is simple, straightforward, and usually much less fraught with politics and personalities, depending on the school.  My first school was a Petri dish of dishonesty and bad management, then I moved to a much less prestigious school and found wonderful people to work for.

But I wouldn't do it if I had to depend on my teaching salary alone, which is better than yours at a DC charter.[/quote]
