The public education budget sucks. There are no resources. [/quote]

MCPS starting salary is $62k and goes up to $127k with experience and qualifications. That's to work 10 months/year.

The median [i]household[/i] income in MoCo is $125k, so a couple right out of college would earn a bit more than the median household income in MoCo, for 10 months of work.

It's not amazing, but I'd say that's not bad either.

They also get an amazing pension, and it seems like a lot less than 10 months. My kids teachers are out a few days a month so seems more like 9 months when you include the leave that most take.[/quote]

The amazing pension is gone under the new system - of those who have been in since 10-ish years ago get that.  They are not "out" a few days a month for vacation, they are pulled for IEP meetings and other meetings where their attendance is required.

Seriously people, if this was such a great job, people would be clamoring for it instead of most quitting within 5 years, many sooner.  And we wouldn't have to bring in those from overseas[/quote]

So they have to work more than 20 years to get 50% of their pay for life now?[/quote]

"Age plus years of service equals 90" is the rule for new staff since 2011.  So it's usually 30 to 40 years of service before reaching full retirement age.  New staff realize that is a long time to be an unhappy teacher.[/quote]
