[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] We're not PAID during those 8 weeks, genius. Many take classes to keep up with certification. Others train in special programs b/c their schools offer signatures. And others are working toward an advanced degree. [/quote] Interesting you bring up that you're not paid during those 8 weeks. That makes the "teachers are underpaid" trope even more ridiculous. So where most of us are paid for 52 weeks, you're paid for 44 weeks (just using your numbers - I'm sure it is less but let's factor in days off equally across the two - even though we know teachers get more days off). Average DC teacher pay of $77,512, spread across 44 weeks is equal to $91,605 if you were working a full year job. Equivalent pay of $91k + lots of time off and a child-friendly schedule - no wonder so many people want to become teachers. [/quote]
