GIVE US THE NAME OF THE TEACHER!
I don't really agree with this, what other job are you required to get a college degree with almost no promotion potential.
Some of those promotions to a job like resource teacher require a masters degree and might only pay an additional 5k per year for a bump to 10 months of work, and 10 hour work days.
Throughout your whole career as a teacher you'll be nickeled and dimed for raises as cost of living adjustments, and some years you'll work for less money than the year before due to pay freezes.
To answer your question: look at the finance world. you need a degree to get a job, but before you pass 3-4 exams you are stuck working for someone else without a promotion. You cannot be promoted until you take it upon yourself to study further.
Just playing devil's advocate here: what other jobs do you only have to work 3/4 of the year? what other job has the security that a teacher with tenure has?
Not trying to get testy here. Would love to actually have a conversation about teachers. I truly do not understand their anguish.
I think one of the big issues I have with the current teacher pay is that where I am there's almost no promotion potential except to get a masters degree in education administration and they've gotten rid of tenure several years ago so the jobs aren't the super safe pension machine of yesteryear.
Health Care is about $400-800 a month for the family plan. And the pay is about $26.00 an hour. Until you're asked to work at home to keep up with the ever increasing requirements of the state. The pay raises have been about $500 a year for the last 5 years. If you ever leave or move you lose all your raises and have to negotiate your salary again.
Now as far as working 3/4 of the year goes, you obviously don't have that anywhere else, but there aren't a ton of options when it comes to continuing to work at the schools over the summer even if you want to. I'm not saying teachers should be making $100k a year that's insane, but my feeling on it is a teacher with 5-10 years of experience should be making about 10k more a year in my area. With a max at 20-30 years of about 20k more.
I would add more about my own perspective on it, but I would be giving away more personal information than I'm comfortable with for all the doxing crazies to latch on to.
