Actually the people at my job....which is way more challenging....get paid way less.
Teachers be tryna fool yall having yall thinking they make pennies when a lot of places start out at 45k+ and they get more money for doing after school programs...summer school...standing in the lunchroom during lunch etc. 

this is true....for those in certain states. 

but I'm from NC and our teachers are always lowest paid. 

I thought NYC recently gave their teachers a raise and retroactive pay?

Man please....

In Texas...
*the average start for a teacher is about $50,000 (and there were raises recently)
*They get paid a $3,000 stipend for each AP/IB class they teach
*They get  $$$ for being a UIL coordinator
*They get $$ if they coach.
*They get $$$ for SPED certifications
*If they teach Science or Math, they get $17,000 in loan forgiveness.
*If they teach English, they get $5,000 in loan forgiveness.
*They already have a built in retirement system. (TRS)

There's money in education..If they wanted to be a curriculum specialist, add another $20,000 a year....

Should it be harder tho? No..Teachers go thru loops to get certified...and the test aren't easy

I refer to the starting salary, but that increases every year. I know teachers that make $75,000+a year. If a teacher is taking home work that's a shame and they need to make better use of their time.Ouch

I think teachers should stop dipping into their own funds, even though they can write it off at the end of the year. Texas has 99 problems, but funding education isn't one in most cases. 

Staying 12 hours a day? I don't see that either.....Dept. Head maybe, but not every single teacher (esp in high school). 

The teacher you're describing sounds like a 1st yr teacher with no experience.

alla dis..

but im in Texas too so it looks the teachers out here get paid more. 

however, I don't think teaching is a field someone can go into blindly...you really know to what you want to do with it as a career and why its a good choice for you. Is your plan to just solely teach? write curriculum? get experience to go in to administration? is it better for your family/future family? Do you have a side business and this career allows you do both and still maintain a social life? etc....
