[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All those years DCUM parents ranted about one thing or another, always ending in, "If the teachers don't like it, they can go do something else!"

Now they have, and those control freak parents have no answer.  I haven't heard about any privates raising pay enough to make a difference. The well-paid administrators just keep doing the same old.

I left privates during COVID and moved to a DC charter for much better pay (still barely enough to live on, but that's not an issue for me) and sterling management that still surprises me every day for their genuine commitment to education over money and status.

The chickens have come home to roost.  This was a very long time in the making.[/quote]

Would you be willing to share specific salary amounts ?

I have no idea what teachers are paid.[/quote]

Hi, I'm in a public school in the midwest.  I have a masters plus 15 additional credits, 22 years experience and I make 95K.  My spouse also teachers in a public school (different district).  He has two masters, 14 years experience.  He makes 100K.  I was offered a job in a lovely little private school (independent, non religious) near me last year, but it could only offer me 60K and of course no pension.  I had to turn it down.  I could have taught more in the way that I believe in there, but I couldn't take the loss.  By the time I retire, I'll be making closer to 120 and my spouse will probably hit about 130.  [/quote]
