Teachers are supposed to be hot and marry successful dudes
Since guys aren’t allowed in the profession anyway the money is kinda secondary

avg comp package 147k with a fully funded pension
Pretty good for working 9/12 months

The amount of bullshit my wife deals with on a daily basis makes her salary worth it. Also the salaries are public information so any of us can view them at any time. Last thing I’ll add is they can all elect to take their salary from day one to day 180 and not get paid during the summer off but almost all elect for the twelve month salary schedule. I think we’ve only known of one person who elected to be paid out only while working the school year so they could work a summer job doing something abroad if I remember right. So technically their salary is based off of a 180 day work schedule if that makes sense

Cost of living in King County outside of 🐴 fucker Enumclaw and places like that is insane so it doesn't seem super outrageous. I am pretty sure those elementary teachers make as much as a principal in Tucson.
My late uncle was a superintendent of a small district in Montana. He quit mainly because of a hole parents.

My point is that to hear the union side of things you’d think the avg teachers salary was like 50k
The reality is that even before those govt bennies your avg teacher In King Co makes 2X the average. That isn’t exactly poverty.
I’m not advocating paying teachers less. The real problem remains at the middle and senior admin level. No goddamn way the SI for chehalis public schools should be making over half a mil. GMAFB
My takeaway is that teachers do t necessarily need a big raise but admin needs a big cut and our property taxes need to be lower. Math is math.

A teacher who starts at 23 and works for 25 years can retire at roughly 50 making $200,000 plus gold plated benefits for the rest of their lives. So if they live to the age of 80, they will have been paid $7,500,000. Do you have any clue what it would take someone in the private sector to do that via a 401k? This is extremely rare but very common for the government employee.

That
That's the average. Now do the average at the age of retirement.

I have a good number of school teacher friends. They bitch, then spend every school holiday, and summer travelling their little hearts out. But you know, they work, like at nights sometime.

lol exactly
My kids go to school at 800 and are done at 2:30(12:30 on Wednesday!)
neither of them ever have homework. All lessons are completed in class. This is elementary and middle school.No one teaching K-8 is working THAT hard.
