[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To me there are two questions: are teachers overworked and should they be paid more. The answers are not the same. No I do not think overworked. Certainly some are but most no. Should they be paid more -- yes -- a lot more. Probably start at 80 and with a Masters and 5-7 years should be 100-125k. Exceptional should be 150k. That would be fair.[/quote] Honest question here, with no intended snark: What does “overworked” look like, then? I am in front of students 34 hours a week. I get 3(ish) hours a week to do all my planning, grading, report writing, email responses, meetings, etc. That’s why my work bleeds so much into my home life, usually by 20+ hours a week. I’m not alone in this. My entire school operates because teachers work so much at home and give all of their work hours to running classes or providing extra class coverage. I’m overworked. I’d rather have a job I can get done in 40-45 hours a week than have higher pay. [/quote]
