Your teachers didn’t work hard enough it seems.

Also if you are getting those numbers from some school board pay scale, our pay has been frozen for years. I still get oaid for 10 years experience at 18 years until they unfreeze pay.

2800-3300 per month? Try much lower than 2800 PER MONTH. Teachers work later than some ppl that get off at 5pm and take work home plus go in on the weekends and summers. Good teachers work there butts off.
Most of the people that post here live in Louisiana. A good teacher in louisiana is a unicorn.

A voluntary 50% pay cut for geography reasons seems like something you won’t get any sympathy for

Collective bargaining agreement was done before this last school year. It includes a yearly base pay increase of IPD or 3%, whichever is higher. Pay is most definitely not frozen, nor was it prior to the newest CBA.
The fact that you teach children is scary, and sad.

My wife gets six weeks of maternity live which auto deducts vacation/sick days. Once that’s burned she gets 60% pay and has no off days left.
I get eight weeks 100% non-sequential for a year.

Didn’t realize we were counting Saturdays and Sundays now

We need a no-work-no-pay policy for teachers.
My ole lady was doing virtual learning from home and will be doing a couple classes worth of virtual learning from the classroom this fall. She worked from home and then had her normal summer. I'd generally agree, no work, no pay but a lot of them have been working.

Perhaps an economics teacher can factor in the value of the retirement benefits? Guaranteed retirement rarely exists outside of government work.

Teachers don’t have the summers off and don’t get paid to sit home in the summertime. Nice try though.
Instead of getting bigger checks during the school year, they get smaller ones spread out for 12 months instead of 9. They have to do lesson plans, attend in-services, take continuing education classes, curriculum meetings, and a lot work second jobs because after taxes and health insurance teachers make between $2800-3300 a month.
I have several friends who are teachers..long time teachers. Last summer, 4 of them posted about both their Memorial Day week long beach trip and their week long 4th of July trip. Sprinkled in were some 4-5 day weekends on the lake. 1 other spent more than a month vacationing in an RV touring out west.
Then come late July, they started posting about looking forward to getting back and seeing their fellow teachers that they hadn’t seen since school ended.
So I’m not buying the “work all summer” bit.

9 months??? Pfft every week there is a half day. Every other week it’s a “training” day. I think it’d be a reach to try to say they work 6 months out the year.

Yes, a comparable job that doesnt have 16 weeks off per year would make more money, we get it.
My wife is a teacher. She is only a teacher because of how much time she has off. She admits it freely and so do damn near all of her co-workers. You can be honest it is ok.
A teacher that complains about their 45k always conveniently forgets their 8 weeks in summer, 5 during the year, 2 weeks of personal leave like it doesn't matter. I work 60+ hours a week too so don't come at me with bullshite, oh and I do it all year long. You aren't special.

Let them.... just no work = no pay, bitch.

Good teachers are severely underpaid for what they are asked to do, and covid is only making it worse.
