[quote=Anonymous]My salary is 60% of what a public school would pay me.

I took the job (and a pay cut) because it was hard to be on a different school calendar than my children (snow days, spring break...) and since my spouse traveled, we needed to be in sync. My boss also offered a big tuition break which I viewed as salary.

You will notice 3 main groups:

1) Teachers who are young enough to live with their parents (and who have a lifestyle that supports that)

2) Teachers who have retired and come back part time or who fill a niche need. Their salaries are not what they live on, but help.

3) Teachers who have children enrolled in the school. They often have a spouse who is a breadwinner, but if they didn't have tuition benefits, they might not have enrolled their children in the school.

There are other scenarios, but those areas cover a lot of my colleagues.

The major benefits are supportive parents, flexibility when you have a life-changing event (like supporting a family member with an illness who needs you), much better behavior and a sense of community.  There are cons, but that is  true of any job. [/quote]
