[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] This. the training should occur in the summer. Aren't DCPS teachers paid well already? [b]Hard to argue that someone making 65-75k a year needs the summer completely off[/b], do two weeks of training in the summer, every year, and give the time back to teachers to teach in the classroom. and put those LEAP teachers back in the classroom.[/quote] Riiiiiiight. I made 54,975 last year working at one of the worst schools in this city where kids openly threatened and fought teachers. After benefits and taxes, my bi-weekly take home pay is about $1200. I was going to work summer school because I barely clear $100 a month after rent, school loans, aftercare, and groceries, but my principal told me that we work in such a stressful environment that I shouldn't risk burning out. I disagree with your statement. The pay isn't commensurate with what we deal with, so getting six weeks off isn't too much to ask. [/quote]
