[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, it is unpopular to consider salaries without considering cost of living. Unpopular because it's dumb and/or disingenuous.[/quote] OP here. cost of living is not a factor here because I am comparing to people living in the same area. I make similar salaries as teacher in DC and I actually live in DC. I have 3 weeks of vacation and no pension. But I am expected to hand gift cards to teachers 3-4 times a year, plus volunteer for all kind of events, donate to the PTO and help with all kind of classroom requests. Don’t get me wrong, I think teachers deserve their salaries but all the [b]extra parents are expected to do is a bit over the top[/b]![/quote] I don't do the "extra" stuff like gift cards for holidays because I'm trying to compensate for teachers' perceived low salaries. I give gifts to show my genuine appreciation for the people who are taking care of and educating my children for the majority of the day. [/quote]
