[quote=Anonymous]I'm a PWCS high school teacher on my 3rd year and make about 48k. I knew the pay going into it, it's published and there is no negotiation like at my old job. (Career switcher from a biotech company). The first year is a huge time committment but so is the first year at a lot of places. It gets easier. I feel much less stressed this year and when I do work outside of contract hours, it's totally my choice. No one is making me do it. I do think teachers as a whole are undervalued but this area is actually pretty awesome for teachers. The stress for me doesn't really come from the work load but from parents of students who are apathetic or who refuse to complete work they are capable of doing. Many parents ask what "we" can do to help Larla achieve, without considering that ultimately it is up to Larla. Luckily my administration is very supportive of teachers and this can be addressed in conferences with the student and parents present. I also think having a short summer break would be better than the current set up, but that's not going to change anytime soon for public schools.[/quote]
