HS teacher-$70K for 9 months of work

[kev374]

[quote=Arraya]Actually, you can look up teachers salaries on salarywizard.com. 70k a year is about right for a teacher with 10 years experience. [/quote]

Considering Software Engineers with 10 years experience are being offered $70k salaries these days I think paying that to a high school teachers is ludicrous, it should be more like $30k considering it is only for 9 months of work.

I can’t wait for this economic downturn to end so people will stop envying math teachers. I couldn’t imagine trying to live in the OC on 70k. With a degree, he probably regrets his career choice as far as pay goes for 8 out of every 10 years, it just looks good right now but over the long haul, the pay will always be it’s major detractor as a career choice.

Who cares what anyone gets paid, their work hours and their job compared to yours. Make a list of the ten jobs you think are easy and overcompensated, then go be one of those.

If being a math teacher was such a great gig, then why aren’t people lining up to be one, except for during economic meltdowns, they are begging for teachers.

My vote is to pay teachers very well but tie it to independent performance reviews. ( Careful with this item as it needs more details which begets a new thread)

If you really want to complain, how about the $100-150k salaries for the 2-4 vice principals/high school. And even with that, there hands are tied in expelling problem kids. So are they really necessary at such a cost?

Not to mention the layers of staffing at the District level, State Board of Ed is even fatter.
