HS teacher-$70K for 9 months of work

[CDMA ENG]

Feeling is mutal buddy and for someone who has “never been there done that” you sure know a lot. By the way my time with those kids are in the years not months. Long enough to gain a perspective on it.

Once again academics. Most engineers could pass the course work, not that they would make good teachers, but they could do it.

That is not 100 perecent true in the opposite direction.

Lastly, you deviate and make social interfacing into a topic of academics. Not the same.

You went to a tough school… Not a tough program. There is a difference.

I am not the epitome of open mindedness. Never claim to be. I am very open minded on something things and completely closed on others after having seen the facts and making up my mind. But like I said I have far more experience in both subjects unlike you.

Your the kid that ran around during college say “I could of majored in that… But I didn’t want to”. When what it really meant was you either didn’t have the foritude or smarts to do it.

Since we are now on in the insulting stage…

And your are right about one thing I am a notorious misspeller.

Yeah I am little pissed at you but end I am not in anger. I am use to ppl make statements from thier high horse. So far you have not made one comment that would indicate any experience with what you have debated.

Are you related to Poway Seller in any way?

Lastly you did not once acknowledge any credit I gave to the proffession which to me indicates you are either a troll (meant in the blogging fashion) or you a married to a teacher and take personal offence. Either way I don’t care…

P.S. I have enjoyed a few pieces of your in the past on real estate. In this regard keep up the good work as this is what you know and do and I benefit indirectly from it. But as for this thread… Go play in traffic.

Another small point about teachers. My sister (a teacher) has made it abundantly clear to me that there is more to being a subject matter expert to qualify you for teaching. You also have to learn the skill set of teaching – conveying the information in multiple ways – because not all students learn the same way. This is especially true in math. So math teachers not only have to understand the math concepts they are teaching – they have to be able to approach the concept from different directions – and communicate that to the class.

My sister grew up in the same house I did. Math ruled. Our Dad was an engineer. She worked in an engineering environment for years. When she went back to school to learn how to teach – she discovered her skillset was entirely inadequate. She could negotiate contracts with the pentagon, but didn’t have the skillset to teach. She had to get a credential and do a lot more coursework, in addition to her undergrad and masters she already had.

Since so many of us are engineers – I’m sure we’ve all had those “a-ha” moments in college where a hard topic suddenly clicked and the light bulb went off. It was because the teacher had found the way to explain that it worked for YOU… your classmate may have gotten it with a different explanation. Teaching is about showing multiple ways to solve something. Different students respond to different approaches.

I’m good at math. I’m a decent engineer. I’d be horrible as a teacher for so many reasons. I’m impatient. I’m not the best communicator. I want to solve the problems rather than teach others how to solve them. And so I sit in a cubicle in Sorrento Mesa rather than in front of a classroom. I picked the correct career path for me. My sister is a very good teacher… and I am a witness that she works as hard or harder than me.

I don’t begrudge teachers. There’s a lot more to it than you realize.

If we were to privatize Education your sister who apparently takes her job seriously would get paid much more whereas the inferior teachers who make up the majority would be sent packing.

A good teacher is worth $100k a year but the majority of teachers now are worth maybe $40k at best.

I totally agree with this. A great teacher are worth much more than $100k, while some shouldn’t be teaching at all. Too bad that scenario will never happen in the current system.
