[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]nice attitude MoCo teachers. why don't you edit that. 
we shall stay in DC and do private school. 
thanks for the color on our investment decision of both our new property search and our children.

BTW, your math doesn't work. You cannot pay in 0-3% per paycheck and expect to retire on even 50% (let alone 80%+) of your final years' salary until death, off the backs of taxpayers. 
The money isn't there, it never was; I'm sorry you voted for a public union friendly politician that lied to you about basic math in exchange for your vote.  Those days are over, the ponci scheme only lasts 1.5 generations of teachers and needs to be funded by 5 generations of teachers and taxpayers.

Try 7%.

It was 5% and the state added 2% to help balance the budget last year and this year.   That extra 2% didn't go into the pension.  It basically was a tax for being a teacher.

7% is probably the minimum that people put into their 401k's every year to finance their retirement.  Why should teachers be different?

And crackers and water, really?!  I will admit, you can't have a one-working-parent family on a teacher's salary, but you can certainly live fine in my neighborhood in Silver Spring on two $80K salaries (or, if the teacher is just starting out, on one $50K and one higher from the other spouse)., particularly if you aren't paying the huge health insurance premiums that most of us in the private sector pay.

I don't see why teachers think they can expect generous pensions, generous benefits, summers/vacations off, and high salaries in a profession that's not revenue generating.  Surely you knew this going in!!

I am in favor of high teacher salaries, by the way.
