[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers also have to contribute 7 percent of their pay to the retirement system. So that is a lot of money to someone that is just starting out that may never stay long enough to reap the benefits. Loan forgiveness is very very hard to get for teachers, even those in title 1 schools. [quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's pretty ridiculous that a police recruit with an associate's degree makes more than an entry-level teacher with a master's degree.[/quote] The jobs may both be stressful, but police risk their lives. I know teachers are subject to abuse, but day to day there is no comparison with the risks police offers take.[/quote] There are TONS of jobs where people do not risk their lives and make much more than police officers. How do you justify them making more than police officers?[/quote] I honestly dgaf what people are paid. Every worker should have at least a living wage. [b]I'm sick of the comparisons between police/fire fighters and teachers.[/b] It's apples and oranges. The apt question is why aren't teachers valued and respected in our society?[/quote] Why does this bother you so much? Teacher pay is shameful in Montgomery County, no wonder teachers are leaving. A decent entry level salary for a person with a master's degree in a high cost area is no less than $70k. If you aren't paying that much and you aren't attracting or retaining people, you should really not be surprised.[/quote][/quote] Teachers are entitled to public service loan forgiveness. You need to look up the rules and follow them just like any program.[/quote] Only true of teachers in Title 1 schools[/quote]
