[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes to most all the above poster wrote. There are schools that do cap out salaries, though at least they cap at a higher point than they used to. Also, contributions to health care costs for teachers, and other employees, can be quite limited. Small schools also can't negotiate the better plans like larger institutions or school systems. Wish they'd negotiate as a block with insurance providers. Might have heard that's being explored.[/quote] Negotiating as a bloc would make better business sense. I hope that's something they can arrange through the various private school associations. So, private school teachers, what can parents do to make your lives easier and your salaries higher, aside from ensuring our snowflakes are reasonably well-behaved and interested in learning? [/quote] Thanks for asking. The biggest strain on teachers in my view is parents with unreasonable expectations who try to pull rank with the HOS or the Board when their DC isn't doing well in school and they don't want to face that "its not the teacher". That kinda thing makes good teachers want work somewhere else. Also, don't "drop in" and expect a walk in instant conference. View it the same as you would a client showing up unannounced at your law firm, walking past your secretary into your office, sitting down and beginning to talk to you while you were working on a brief.[/quote]
