WA State Teacher Salaries
Not too terrible for only working 3/4 of the year, getting every holiday imaginable off as well as “teacher work days”
Now obviously these aren’t starting salaries but that’s an impressive raise scale over a 4 year span.

….and remember this is just elementary school homeroom😂

How about SIs?
Over half a million to run Marysville Public Schools 😂
-
Marysville is getting fleeced. That district is a mess.
-
if it’s so easy how come nobody here does it?
jealousy is a stinky cologne

huh?

Advanced degree, 15+ years of service, taking on additional contract incentives and responsibilities outside of school hours, cashing in unused sick days, and teaching in the Northshore School District (in the case of the highest paid teacher in the category) can get you to a pretty decent payday in the State of Washington. Not shedding any tears for the very top earners, but they only got there by paying their dues, not unlike the high earners in any occupation. And anyone who thinks teachers work only on school days didn't grow up in a school teacher's household.

Kali went from a principal and a vice principle to run a school to 1 supervisor teacher for every 3 teachers. They made up new positions to earn more money and had to hire more teachers to replace the supervisor teachers. Yet we wonder why the budget has increased dramatically. It's a scam.
-
The unjustifiable expansion of positions within school districts (particularly admin) might be one of the very few subjects we do agree on.
-
I actually agree with a bunch of this. Marrying a teacher and seeing the absolute shitshow she deals with and the hours she works gave me a new appreciation for the profession.

Now marry cop!

Grandpa Ern taught elementary school for 45 years. Dad Ern taught elementary school for 40. Ern used to teach and run college labs for a few years and those shits are even worse than the kids. Junior high teachers might have it worst though.
Teachers are gods among men.
-
Your grandpa may have been a god among men but obviously he married poorly and so did Dad Ern and now we have to deal with grandson Ern. One is not like the others for some reason. Ern's team has taken discipline out of the classroom and the teacher's hands. And now Ern thinks that it is Trump's fault.

Okay
-
totally not odd at all Gasbag tangent
-
Team Dazzler translation - "There is nothing we can do"
-
Push the call button, Gasbag.
The nurse has forgotten to give you your dose.
-
And some wonder why we spend the most money for the worst education results. This started with the number one dosed person on the Tug commentating and hoping to get his daily reach around from the dazzler. Seldom disappointed.
-
Insulting the women of Ern's family was really the only choice you had, apparently.
All class.
-
That's me. Never concerned about telling the truth. I'm not the one/ones enabling Ern or the rest of the hate America leftards. Nothing says class like claiming a fake MBA.
-
Did UNR fire you or something? Research Grant dried up?

-
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.
