[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where I live a new teacher makes something like $40k and the 50+ teachers are making between $80 and $90k. To me this discrepancy seems unfair because the young teacher's job is just as difficult as the older teacher. With nurses I understand this a bit more because an experienced nurse will have to pick up a lot of slack if her coworkers are brand new and clueless.[/quote] For teachers the discrepancies are reasonable because it should be about results, not how hard they work. Teachers straight out of college are not very good the first year or two. This is a pretty universal truth and it’s veteran teachers’ support that gets many of those new teachers through the year. Especially at schools with high levels of poverty.[/quote]
