Private school teachers make far less than public school teachers. Better retirement package too

Mom taught in public and private. She went back to public because of better pay

Now some private school give you a discount if you send your children where they teach

$25k isn't an abnormal private school starting salary.

It is in ebr for catholic schools. Everyone full time starts at 32. I know a lady who has 40 years and is making 48. I assume that's where we top out at.

Runnels will give teacher kids free tuition. I think other non Catholic ones do the same. The catholic schools don't.

Public School - More pay, but dealing with Riff Raff/babysitting kids all day

Private School - Lesser pay, dealing with very little little riff raff, or throwing them out (depending on the school).



I always told myself if I was to become a teacher, I would teach either Private school, or public High school.

Is there any website that can tell you a base salary for an elementary school teacher in EBR for private vs public?

Apparently there is a bonus if you bang a student and not get caught. Ask about that.

Avg Private school -- 30-40K

Avg Public -- 45-65K

But many factors weigh into this and that.

Damn. Teachers really don't get paid shite. That's a bit disheartening.

Whenever these threads pop up I always try to explain to people that private school teachers are paid much less than public school teachers because private school teachers are not state or federally mandated to possess a teaching certificate or to keep up with continued learning...it's like some people are insulted that they pay all this money for private school and those teachers are less compensated than trashy public school teachers

Public in LA: $45-60k
Private in LA: $25-40k (a few schools will pay similar to public though)

Generally private being paid a lot less, but public have far more obnoxious paperwork, ridiculous requirements, poorly behaved children, special Ed children, etc. Essentially the public teachers are earning the extra money by dealing with a lot of extra crap

I mean they get like three more months off of work than most people so you get paid for the amount of work you actually do.

I'd say that's pretty normal nowadays. All of my friends who went big 4 accounting started around that number.

Hell, I started at $32K and I work in sports media, even though I make more now though. Have to start somewhere.

The issue with teaching is the bottom end isn't far from the top end (I'm excluding PhD level college professors of course).

At least with sports media, you can be somewhat of an entrepreneur and make good money.

I find low 30's hard to believe for big 4 accounting.

They weren't there long, but the first year that's what they made straight out of school because I was making more than my friend with his Masters Degree lol. He's since surpassed me.
