[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]A starting salary of 39k for 40 weeks a year[/b] is not a trash entry level salary. DCUM is not normal with salary expectations.
I teach in a catholic school after leaving a large county public system. I have no plans to leave. [b]I do not have nearly the amount of kids on IEP-like accommodation plans. I don’t have the same behavior issues[/b] even though some classes are more tough than others. 
So many reasons to work where you feel comfortable. I have my Masters and I’m happy which is much different than most of the jaded and disgruntled public school teachers I know. [/quote]

So if you're someone who doesn't want to work as hard as public school teachers do and don't want to have to teach all students, not just the easy ones, and you either have a subsidy from family or low expenses, teaching in a parochial school may be right for you.

Honestly, all of us could probably doing a more-virtuous or less-virtuous job. I'm not teaching any longer. When I did teach, I was teaching mostly motivated middle-class kids. I still got tired and changed careers.[/quote]

Why is this a bad thing? Admit as a teacher what type of job setting you would like? If I could get paid less but be happier because I don’t have the parts of public school teaching which make it so difficult, that’s my choice as a professional. If you value money more, that’s yours. Or you have priorities which differ. The post was asking why someone would take a job making 39k as an entry level teacher over more at a public school. I explained why I do and I’m happy. [/quote]
