[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was a young, brand new teacher, I had a roommate.  And, yes, it took a large portion of my income.  This was decades ago.[/quote]

When I moved to DC after law school to work at DOJ I had a roommate. In an apartment. That is all I could afford for years. And we lawyers didn't cry about it. [/quote]

Who is crying about it? WTOP?[/quote]

Teachers. They complain about their income All.The.Time. Even when they make more than people with more education and responsibility who don't have months of time off every year. [/quote]

The months of time off is not paid.[/quote]

Ok. And yet FCPS teachers are making between 60k and and over 100k salaries ... with just a bachelor's degree. And making more than that with advanced degrees. For what you are highlighting as essentially part-time work.

Yeah -- they definitely need to stop whining. They are paid way too much for not working all year round. [/quote]

Please show me your data. The vast majority of teachers do not make anywhere close to “over 100k” salaries. Stop making things up.[/quote]

No one is making anything up -- the pay scales are public: https://www.fcps.edu/careers/salary-and-benefits/salary-scales[/quote]

I’m curious to see the distribution of experience for teachers. I suspect it’s pretty right skewed with the veteran teachers being in the minority, but I’ve never seen data on it.

To make 100k+ on the current Payscale with all the step freezes:
Bachelors - 26 years of experience
Masters - 18 years of experience

That seems like a milestone the majority of teachers don’t make. Maybe I’m wrong? I’d love to see the number of employees in each of the pay scale cells.[/quote]
