[quote=Anonymous][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]

This might be true for your kids' school, but not at any of the Big 3. In fact, there isn't a single person on our faculty who attended our school, and we have a pretty sizable faculty (yes, I'm being coy to avoid being specific). Most of us come from solidly middle-class families and, as such, do not have the resources required to live a comfortable life in this area.[/quote]

My son's teacher at beauvoir was the daughter of the ncs head of school. I think she was also an alum, so maybe not "entirely" true. : ) [/quote]
