OP said private school. At private schools it's usually more of parents bitching cause little Johnny made an A- instead of an A+.

Unless Baton Rouge is exponentially higher than Lafayette and most other places that I know private school teachers, not even close.

Every single private school teacher I know makes consderably less than public school teachers.

Probably the best answer I've seen but I think that may even be a little high when you average all the privates out.

Starting salary is around 34k. At least in the catholic schools. The diocese puts out a pay scale and schools have to start there. Some of the schools can afford to add on significantly, and some can't.

On the chart:
Low end, 34k
30 years experience, closer to 50k

The chart is probably on their website.

That’s just terrible by all accounts.

Public schools: 40-45k and probably get stabbed.

Private schools: 100$ a month with a selling point of “at least you probably won’t get stabbed”

I never understand people( teachers) that complain saying “oh it’s more than just the 8 hours at school, I have to grade papers at home and deal with parents off the clock” .... that’s part of a career. It’s not a 9-5 job where you are done at end of shift it’s a career and lifestyle that is 24/7. You are a teacher, you don’t work as a teacher for 8 hours a day.

And every career is like that. I get called at 4am, midnight emails and have to deal with all sorts of people indirectly. It’s part of the career I picked. Just like all that shite is part of being a teacher
