[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As long as my child has a teacher every single year who is forced to use their own money to properly supply the classroom I will continue to give a monetary gift.  Teachers are disgustingly underpaid and under appreciated.  I could not do that job all day. [/quote]

They need to go to school for 4 years.  It is a very easy degree to get.  They work 6-8hrs a day, 187 days a year. Guaranteed break of 1 hour for lunch/recess within a 6hr school day.  For middle/upper school, they have guaranteed 2 periods off.  Average MCPS salary is $80,000 and many can supplement that with a summer job or tutoring.

Most other full time salary employees work 8-10hr days, 260 days a year with no guarantee of a lunch break.

Sorry, they are not disgustingly underpaid.  The best thing you can do for a teacher is back the F off, appreciate them, have their backs, and let them teach.  I think most would take a pay-cut to not have to deal with the helicopter and tiger moms of our generation.    [/quote]

Agree, they are not underpaid.  If you added them working summers, that's a good income.  More than I make a gov't social worker.[/quote]
