[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sadly true. I’m a teacher and one of my children wants to be one. She is in college now and I have done everything to discourage her from teaching. It’s not possible to make a living wage. Unless you are married to a money maker it isn’t sustainable. I think I have succeeded. She just added a second major and is less excited about being a teacher. It’s too bad, she would be amazing as a teacher. [/quote]

75-100k isn't a living wage? I don't think that phrase means what you think it means.

It may not be enough to fund the lifestyle you want her to have, but be serious.[/quote]

Not PP, but to me a livable wage for a career means a wage where you can afford to purchase a home and raise a family. 75k is not accomplishing that in this area [/quote]

They just ask their parents for a downpayment. Duh. It's a cliche, but a LOT of private school teachers were private school KIDS and have rich parents. Even the middle aged ones started on third base. A sizeable number of teachers at my kids' school are alums. [/quote]

Many of the private school kids in the 70s and 80s didn't have rich parents, because tuition was not as expensive relative to HHI as it is today.

In any case, do you want to limit your teacher candidates pool to people whose parents are wealthy?  Is that what you are saying?[/quote]
