[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I left a Big 3 private in 2016 and was making $75,000 with 11 years of experience. [/quote]

75K/year at a Big 3?  Seriously?  I have four kids at one of the big 3.  What the hell does the school do with almost 200k/year in tuition from me?

Why can't the big 3 pay teachers like Google SWE with benefits?  I am sure the money is there and the school can raise tuition if it wants to, right?[/quote]

Look up your school's 990 and see what HoS makes. That should partially answer your question.[/quote]

My HoS earned every penny.  They don't ever get a day off and led schools through 2.5 years of a pandemic.  This isn't where to direct your anger - also $75K 6 years ago doesn't seem like a terrible teacher's salary to me.  What would you think a teacher with those qualifications would receive?[/quote]

75K/yr with 11 years experience is a low salary.  Teachers at the big-3 should be paid like 240k/yr, like a Google Software Engineer, and they need to produce just like Google software engineers.  I am willing to pay double the current tuition for this to happen.

They would just divert the money to managers, facilities, and fundraising.  Private schools and tutoring companies exist to teach, but that's not where a lot of money goes.

If 10 students generate $500k, the corresponding teacher gets less than 20%. Simple math. If you want to pay great teachers, hire them directly for that $120 an hour you think they deserve.[/quote]

Can someone explain this to me?  Harvard pays its professor an average salary of 226K/year on a 52.6K/year in tuition while Sidwell school tuition for upper school is almost 51.6K/year but I don't think Sidwell school pays its teachers 226K/year. I am sure Sidwell school also has wealthy donors just like Harvard.   Where does the money go?  [/quote]
