Then, after 30 years of dedicated service, the teacher finally gets to retire with another whopping 2700/month after taxes. Wow. I'm jealous.

Not true. An LP teacher posted this week and was complaining bc is she retries now after 26yrs here pension would only be over $4k/mth.

After 30yrs it is definitely much higher. Unlike those with 401ks that are down a lot, teachers still draw their full pension regardless that it is unsustainable.

It’s not unsustainable. Teachers themselves put in 8% of their earnings and the employers have been putting around 26% of the teacher’s salary each year. A 50k a year teacher costs a school system over 80k, this is one reason the retirement is sustainable.

That’s simply inaccurate…. With 26 years of service, a teacher would retire with 65% of the average of their highest 3 earning years.
