[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]

Well, I’m a legal aid lawyer and I’m not a trust fund baby.

I’d love to see teachers paid more precisely so the profession attracts highly qualified people. I’d similarly like to see legal aid lawyers and social workers paid better. It’s hard work.

I don’t think a 21 or 22 year old teacher fresh out of college should earn more than a new lawyer who earned a JD or a new social worker with a MSW. Teachers are hired before they have a masters. [/quote]
