How much would you need to be paid to be an American public school teacher?

I don't think I could deal with the bullshite for anything less than 180k. The fact that teachers do it for 1/3 of that, or probably less, is wild.

Zero, but I would gladly go back to school as a student to sharpen my pencil for this.

I dont understand how there hasnt been an uptick in male teachers considering the female teachers are fricking all the students.

I took a pay cut after being a teacher and coach in MS public schools for 12 years to move into coaching at the NAIA level. The pay cut was minor and the time flexibility was more than worth the $10k/year.

What most people honestly just don't get is the lack of discipline teachers are allowed to enforce on students. I read on this board all the time about how easy it is and teachers bitch all the time. This isn't the pre-NCLB anymore where you saw schools enforce punishments, expulsions, and suspensions...now, teachers go through a laundry list of work on their end to initiate a process of discipline and the consequences are far less. It's not the workload in any other area...it is the weak punishment of students. But, since NCLB we correlate funding based on attendance and test scores. Therefore, schools do nothing but teach to a test and do everything possible to max them out. Public schools are test mills.

Two types of male teachers:
1. The coach who was forced to teach a few classes
2. The 20-something flaming gay guy

You are right, they get paid for 180 days and the rest is vacation time.

What you’re saying is correct, but I wouldn’t relate it as directly with NCLB as you do. It’s a combination of that and several other things, but the point that teachers have no power to effectively discipline students anymore is absolutely correct. I’ll say it again for about the 20th time here, but the current system is unsustainable. The unraveling has sped up quickly since COVID, and I don’t think it’s possible to stitch it back together at this point.

I'd do it for the going rate, with a bonus for every arse I have to whip.

I’d teach high school level civics or history at a non-inner city school for $75k/year, especially if they let me give all multiple choice scantron exams.

I’m never going back to teaching in the inner city.
