[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, ask for less. That's usually a good strategy. Smh. I'm so tired of people using fear and guilt as strategies against teacher's reasonable demands. Really doubt you'd hear "Be careful, firefighters!"

And, one more time, [b]summer is unpaid[/b]. Closer to seasonal work than vacation. Ask a teacher and you'll find that many of us are working, coaching, and taking classes in addition to -- yes -- resting and recharging.

Yes, if summer was paid, and you were on a 12 month contract, you would likely be getting $2,000 + per year more - BA, with 1 year exp + step 1 gets paid $51.4 ($5,100/month) a 12 month contract would put a brand new teacher at $61/year.  If the argue about summer unpaid is continually made, at least recognize that that annualized salaries probably put teachers at a higher compensation level than many other professionals, especially just starting out. The benefits, including a pension and housing allowance for new home buyers is something unheard in most non union professions these days.[/quote]
