I wouldn't classify MCPS teachers as being underpaid. [b]Teachers can easily make 6 figures for working 180 days per year[/b] not to mention a generous pension the likes of which nobody in the private sector gets.[/quote]

I never understand why people believe that teachers work 180 days a year. And I am not a teacher.

Here is the current teacher salary schedule: https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/uploadedFiles/departments/ersc/employees/pay/schedules/FY19%20MCEA%20Salary%20Schedules.pdf

A new teacher coming in with a bachelor's degree makes $49,013. The top salary, for a teacher at step 25 with a master's degree or equivalent plus 60 credit hours, is $109,449.

It's better pay than Oklahoma, West Virginia, or Arizona, certainly. But nobody is getting rich in Montgomery County by being a teacher.

Also, as always, it raises the question: if being a teacher is so well-paid, for so little work, with such a great pension (that you can't get in the private sector) -- why haven't you switched fields to become a teacher?[/quote]
