[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I'm so sorry that you're jealous of our cushy, high paying jobs in the field of education.

FWIW, my friend who's been a Fed for fewer years than I've been teaching is making almost twice my salary.

So I have no idea what you're complaining about, as I'm certain your pay isn't exactly at the low end either[/quote].

I'm neither jealous of your job in the field of education nor complaining about my equally high paying job in the field of social work.  But I do believe that a 7% raise IS unequivocally CUSHY in the current economic climate (e.g. the County and State are crying "broke").  So enjoy your raise but please stop bitching about it -- particularly to your fellow public servants who are "raise-less" (and hoping that our particular jobs -- of helping children in crisis -- aren't eliminated/diminished when the budget ax comes around).

I was being sarcastic.

And keep in mind, Social Worker, that we, too, as educators, deal with damaged children on a daily basis - DAILY.  Sadly, I've called CPS one too many times only to see NOTHING good result from my actions.  In fact, there were several families where abuse was suspected and there were calls at every level - elementary, middle and high.  And guess what?  Nothing happened!

So I'll say this much - We teach, we parent, we protect.  We deserve our raises.
