[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all are moving to MD or NoVa and going to public schools over this? Where teachers and leadership have the same problems and no one is back to school. Makes sense. [/quote]

Some of what’s going on in this thread is conservatives who are mainly interested in their ideological agenda— breaking unions, harming public schools. (This is a big part of conservative ideology because local govts collect a lot of tax dollars and spend it on schools. So anti-tax/anti-society conservative are also anti-school.)[/quote]

No, this is the narrative you're pushing to get what you want. In DC, it's liberals who want the schools open, and liberals who want the schools closed. And some liberals (like me) have now reconsidered blind support for teacher's unions. That's a lose for unions in the long term. [/quote]

yep.  - pro voucher liberal who sees that the teachers care only for themselves.[/quote]

Teachers already get paid crap. Now you are saying they should put kids first and take the risk of coming down with Covid for the greater good. C’mon- just listen to yourself. Teachers have always been treated badly in the US and now we are paying the price. I’m a parent not a teacher but this is obvious stuff that you should not need explained[/quote]

Teachers in DCPS do NOT get paid like crap. My kid's PK4 teacher and K teacher both make very low six figures.[/quote]

You have to have been teaching for many many years to get to 100k. Plus have advanced degrees. Most teachers are not making close to 100k contrary to what DCUM thinks [/quote]

This. Literally how did this false information start?

You need to work in DCPS for 10-21 years to make the low 6 figures, and by low lets just say it's literally 100k. No one is being paid 200k, because that is also a low six figures haha.

Also when you have to spend part of your paycheck on supplies I imagine that sucks.

This is not a BOO HOO teachers post, 100k is OK. However let's not pretend teachers here are rich just because they make more than others in the US. I've heard DCPS talk about making teachers rich and I think they're gonna have to do a little better than 100k in 10-20 years....[/quote]

You can actually look up this info, but 2018 is the most recent I can easily find:

For DCPS: "Average annual salary was $74,761 and median salary was $78,856. Dc Public Schools average salary is 60 percent higher than USA average and median salary is 81 percent higher than USA median." My kid's K teacher made $113,617 and has not been working for DCPS for 10 years (even now and this data is 2 years old); she does have a master's. My kid's PK teacher had the same salary and has been working for DCPS for more than 10 years; I don't know if she has a master's, but it's possible.[/quote]
