[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the poster who said the starting salary should be $70k, I would be fine with that.

But I will point out that starting salaries for new lawyers fresh out of law school at Legal Aid in Montgomery County is $66k. Seems like $65k would be good for a 10 month job for a teacher fresh out of college. [/quote]

You are not seriously trying to suggest that nonprofit salaries are appropriate for teachers? Those jobs are for trust fund babies and people who didn't get the message they are for trust fund babies. We need a real supply of good teachers.[/quote]

One might say that teaching is now for trust fund babies or those who marry well too.  Why do you think the county cannot fill so many positions any more and those positions go unfilled too.

I was in one of those jobs.  After child care, it didn't pay for me to work, especially given the hours and I needed to pay a babysitter to get my kids from day care as I never made it home before 7.[/quote]

Exactly. There are not enough trust fund babies to fill teaching positions. It's not appropriate and not decent to pay under $70k for a job that requires a master's degree in the DMV.[/quote]

My neighbor who teaches at MCPS makes 120k. I think that's not bad for someone who likely only works around 160 days a year, and with the Elrich tax increases it should be a lot more soon.[/quote]

I really can't with someone who thinks $120k is too much for someone with a master's degree + additional continuing education and 25 years+ of experience. Who is responsible for children's futures. You sound really out of touch with professional salaries in this day and age.[/quote]

I just checked the pay scale. The top is $118K and that’s for a Masters + 60 credits after 25 years of experience. The PP above really thinks $120K is too much for a teacher with those credentials?[/quote]
