A year ago December the teachers in our district went on strike for
better pay and benefits. The conventional wisdom is that your typical public school teacher is lucky to make $30K after many hard years of teaching. Since teachers salaries are a matter of public record a full page ad was taken out in the Sunday paper the first weekend of the strike. Every teacher in the school district was listed, by name, and how much they made for that current school year. Turns out the average teacher salary is $41.5 here with 25-30% of the teachers making more than $50K per year. Starting pay was mid $20's. You could literally see the support for the teachers evaporate on that Sunday. A settlement was reached shortly there after. A teacher strike will not ever happen here again. Morgans wrote: "Richard Hertz" wrote The bottom line is - there are plenty of qualified people lined up to take the teaching jobs at the current salary levels. You are so far out in left field, I only will make a couple comments. You are completely wrong about the supply of teachers. Perhaps there are surplus numbers in elementary and humanities, but it is almost impossible to find science and math teachers who are well qualified, and gets harder every year. Teacher's salaries have grown at under the cost of living, under inflation, and has meant less disposable income, even when taking into account pay raises for each years service. Not too many professions can claim that proud distinction. Come take my teaching job. See how you like it. You won't last a year. |
