[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is VERY common for teachers to have second or third jobs.  Have you seen the pay scale? They start in the 40s.  You try finding a decent 1-bedroom apartment at that salary.  Let alone buy a car, pay for insurance, pay for food AND pay off student loans...  All for a thankless job where we're attacked at every turn.  I used to tell people I was a teacher, and I said it with pride.  Now I just make up something.[/quote]

Puleeezze.  The average individual income for PW is $48,000.  The average PWCP school teacher is $57,000.  Stop it with the slave wages bullshit. [/quote]

When would a first year teacher ever be paid the "average"?  It is a pay scale.  You start at the bottom and hopefully move up year by year through the steps.

Sounds like you are a prime example of why we need teachers.  That and your nasty potty mouth.  What an ugly person you are, PP.  No wonder people don't want to be teachers anymore if they have to deal with people like you.[/quote]

Nope, my brother is a 4th grade teacher and is 29 years old making $100K at with mcps. My child’s tutor at 34 is making $120K in DC. [/quote]

Nope.  I’m a master’s + 30, and I’ve been teaching 15 years.  I have yet to make $100K.  He’s probably doing extra stuff- coaching, summer school.  In DC, she deserves what they pay her.  Why else would she work there?[/quote]

Same.  I'm also M+30, teaching almost 20 years and just broke $90 this year on the scale.[/quote]

I’m also totally sick of the fact that even though I’m more educated than everyone I know, and even though they all make more than I do, they all tell me all summer long how good I’ve got it.  [/quote]

Different strokes. You can go out into private industry and work 50-60 hours a week for 49-50 weeks per year with no job security,  no pension, and expensive benefits like the rest of us! [/quote]

Not like everyone.  The people I’m talking about work from home, can go to exercise classes in the middle of the day, and the bathroom whenever they want.  You think teachers aren’t working those kinds of hours?  Please.  I’d say 50 is the minimum to get it done.[/quote]
