[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Money money money. Most experienced teachers would put up with all this just to be paid what a comparable mid career office worker is paid. [/quote]

It’s not the money. It’s the demands on my time. I shouldn’t need to work over 60 hours every week just to meet the minimum in my classroom. Demands are absolutely unreasonable.

You could pay me 2x my salary and I still wouldn’t stay. You can take away 20 hours of work a week and I’ll consider. [/quote]

I'm a special ed teacher and I'd stay for either more money or a reduction in workload. That's a pretty common refrain I hear in special ed. Most of us work 60-70 hour weeks and get paid for 40. [/quote]

What would be a reasonable amount of money for your current workload?[/quote]

PP. Salary increase by 50% to cover the extra 20-30 hours per week that I work unpaid. The job cannot be done in a 40 hour workweek. An alternative would be to hire staff who exclusively handle the paperwork and meetings part of the job.

Since neither is likely to happen, I'm looking at other options.[/quote]
