[quote=Anonymous]I’m a teacher. I have two masters degrees and am a career changer, so I bring a wealth of experience from a different but (content) related field. I work a second job while I teach, and that’s on top of working summers to up my salary. With all the extra work, my salary is $90k. I have 15 years of experience in teaching. I do not have a pension — that benefit is for the “old timers” who got into the system much earlier. I’m not complaining, I’m explaining. I would never encourage my own kids to go into teaching now. There’s no respect, no autonomy, and the decision-makers tend to have little managerial experience. Very little in the way of effective leadership at the principal level either. I love the students, but there are so many policies that are at odds with providing kids with a decent education. It’s disheartening. As a parent, I do whatever I can to lift my kids’ teachers’ morale. I don’t want the hard-working, caring, purpose-driven, smart ones to flee. You shouldn’t want that either.[/quote]
