[quote=Anonymous]On paper, they are making 60k. 7.5 percent comes out right off the bat for the pension system. Then there are union dues, nea dues, health care. 
And the 60k is somewhat recent. Those of use who have been around for a while have only recently been making a good salary because the step scales were frozen for a bit, also salaries lagged before all the increases and cola. Just 10 years ago, I was making roughly 68k with 15 years of experience.

I don’t stay after school because I work in another school’s after school program. It’s almost impossible to get a teaching spot at my school’s after school program because the teachers all need the money. [/quote]

I think teachers should be paid more and support all initiatives for this.  But MCPS teacher starting salary is 60k.  There are lots of jobs in the DC area with similar or less.  There is also plenty of outside tutoring opportunities available.  How are teachers struggling in this area?

Asking seriously with no judgements.[/quote][/quote]
