[quote=Anonymous]I make less than my kid's teachers. We are in DCPS and teachers are well compensated here compared to other places. Are they well compensated compared to doctors and lawyers? No, but neither am I (I'm a librarian, spouse is in public service similar to teaching). Yes, this area is expensive. Guess what, it's expensive for me, too. I actually still gave teachers gift cards the first few years because it felt compulsory. But I stopped, because it makes no sense. I write heartfelt thank you notes to teachers. That is gratitude. I also pay my taxes, which I think entitled my kid to public school without an obligation to "tip" teachers. If this offends you, me don't care. [/quote]
