[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While OP makes 111k now, when she started 15 years ago the salaries were much less. It wasn't until recently that we got these bumps. Also, we put in 7 and 1/2 percent of our salary towards our pension and that doesn't include union dues. So as a single parent, I'm sure OP is struggling, this area is expensive. 15 more years is a long time OP. I only have 3 left so I am limping towards the finish. [/quote] Certainly. Just like many others in the county are struggling financially.[/quote] And they are welcome to look for another job, just like OP. That’s what is driving the teacher shortage. Teachers don’t feel they are paid enough for the demands of the job, so they are leaving. Those who remain aren’t doing the extras the way we used to (running clubs, extra tutoring, working outside hours to keep up with grading, etc.). [/quote]
