[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the pay at the elite local private schools competitive?[/quote]
No.
St. Alban’s might be the best. They used to cover your kid’s tuition also.

No others do. Retirement and benefits far below public schools.[/quote]

This is what I don’t understand - how are private schools a much better education than public if their teachers are getting paid less? Wouldn’t better teachers go public for more money?[/quote]

It's not a strict calculation of dollars.  There are things in private school that can be appealing - smaller classes, more control in lesson planning, fewer discipline problems.  [/quote]

I agree. I transferred to a private school after many years in public. I gave up slightly higher pay, but I gained a better work/life balance and more respect. I don’t feel beat-down and defeated at the end of the day.

Many private school teachers left the public districts for similar reasons. [/quote]

Teachers at the top privates won’t cross six figures.  [/quote]

I’m the teacher PP. I’m well aware of that. I traded about $30K of earning potential annually (max) for respect, professionalism, and a WAY more pleasant atmosphere. Totally worth it. I’ve never looked back.

And I’m not alone. There are many of us. [/quote]
