[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New poster here: Weren't you aware when you entered the teaching field that your pay would not be the same as someone in finance, business, law, medicine, engineering etc? I do not understand the discussion comparing one field to another. [/quote]

Teachers are not the ones making those comparisons. It's other posters who are saying that teachers should be happy with anything DCPS sends their way while routinely working 10 hour days

Please. 
The whole teacher victim thing is way overdone. The pay is good for the hours worked and most teachers choose the profession partly for this reason. There's been a major change in attitude since I was in school and many teachers now won't lift a finger beyond what's absolutely required. They end up in poor schools as principals in better schools don't put up with these attitudes and will make sure the slackers get transferred. If you want a good teaching position in a good school you have to put out the effort. The poor schools end up shortchanged with weak teaching staff made even weaker by unruly students, overwhelmed parents and no volunteers.[/quote]
