[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Fairfax County Public Schools pays its teachers a starting annual salary of $61,747 as it gives 44 of its district administrators over $200,000 per year. Meanwhile, student performance is abysmal, + teachers are paying for their own classroom supplies.

Is this fair and equitable?[/quote]

Entry level teachers means a recent bachelors, no job experience, and a 10M contract. $61,747 is pretty good. If you told me the qualifications of the administrators I’d be in a place to say if I thought it was fair.

Parents are routinely asked to purchase the teachers requested classroom supplies so don’t worry, if that’s what bothers you, you can just get their Amazon list.[/quote]

TBH, I’ve never purchased my own classroom supplies and families have always sent in basic supplies for their own child. It was that way when I was school in the 70s and 80s. We do ask for students to send in tissues, so that would be a classroom supply. [/quote]

Good for you. You’ve never bought expo markers for the board? Paper clips? Pens? Scissors? Schools have some of these at the start of the year, but are long gone by January.

I find it hard to believe that you’re a teacher and never bought our own bulletin board borders.[/quote]
