impuretale:adiemtocarpe:wornoutfavorite:adiemtocarpe:edukaition:fortunenglory:Robert Reich, telling it how it is to someone so out of touch with non-elite society that he guessed the average teacher makes $120,000. That’s cute. Real cute.I make closer to half of the “average” than the average. I waited tables while teaching last year and still barely scraped by. People are truly ignorant.Yep, that’s cute.Even $56K was something you wouldn’t expect to make at my old school until maybe your 10th year. Maybe. That’s assuming they stopped pay freezes and basing your raise percentage off the starting salary. And my school was considered to “have it good” because raises were actually an option.Yeah, I’d like to know where teachers are making 56k a year because most of the ones I know don’t make half that.My boyfriend makes close to 56K (I don’t know the exact number, low to mid 50s though) at a public school in Virginia. He’s a 4th year teacher with his Master’s. Out of all the teachers I know across the country, he’s the only one that comes close to this “average”… I wouldn’t even know what to do if I ever made 56k as a teacher. Probably cry.Also: Virginia is always hiring, so… go get your moneyz.$56k is what you can expect to make around here if you’re a college professor with tenure. Maybe. K-High School teachers in this region make closer to $17k-$20k. -- source link
