Agreed on all points.
Can taxpayers sue school board for breach of contract?
- Thread starter BrownBrady
- Start date
Agreed on all points.
And having to deal with the stress of knowing one your students is in an abusive home were does that factor in. Its not a bad job for sure but try working in a low income school if your someone that actually cares you will end up crying your self to sleep every night.
It does not really sounds like we are disagreeing anymore tho..
Maybe I wouldn't be a good teacher, I probably wouldn't care so much about the personal lives of all those kids. Overpopulation, etcLOL
Good call then.
Hmm, fun with numbers. I wonder what other group of workers would negotiate that?

How is this not teachers, vps and principals making the sunshine list? What am I missing?

No one is denying they are.
I'm seeing mainly/all principals and vp's.
are their many private companies with 300-1000 employees/individuals where the president/top management earns less?
And those principals/vp's are just over 100k, with no possibility of earning more until one of them becomes the director of education of an entire school board.

I think it may be capped at below 10,000 for highschool teachers i would have to find a salary grid at the high end it might be 96,000 (thats 10 plus year and a masters or specialist) i guess a summer school session might push you up above 100,000. These teachers might have some other specialized work they are doing.

My moms a high school teacher maxed out at 96k. Its hard for me to feel sorry for her when shes bitching about how much pension is being taken out. The fak? Its your money youre gonna get when you retire. Also when she was bitchi g that her bankable sick days are being taken away and how she needs them due to stress at work.
Honestly, its like the unionized public employees live in their own little entitled bubble. Where are my paid sick days when im stressed out? Wheres my pension? My 2 months off in summer? She had the balls to complain how she has to pay extra to go on vacation because xmas is the only time she can go down south during winter.
Shes my mother and i love her but god damn shes used to the perks and now sees them as an entitlement.
Oh a d you wanna know what some teachers do during summer? Teach summer school for extra $$$.

Hard to Deny there is defiantly a sense of entitlement among the old guard in the public sector.

My Dad is a retired teacher. Started at North Toronto, but did the majority of his teaching at Harbord - he never complained. He went to UofT for engineering, but realized it wasn't for him and went back to teacher's college. More than once as a child we'd bump into one of his current or past students and they'd pull me aside to tell me what a great teacher my dad was.
As I said, just a counter-point to redliner - he knew the job's +s/-s going in and did the best job he could. (but the bugger got his full allotment of banked sick days (he's been retired 20 years))

That's what it takes these days. Over the last 10 years at my last school, the really strong supply teachers were offered long term occasional jobs, and eventually full time positions. It was my experience that the best ones find a job (eventually). Every teacher retires eventually.
Ha, ha! Throw momma under the bus!
Throw momma from the train.
I think the "best" teachers are the ones saying i'm not going into the public system as my talents wont be recognized in such a system they are doing other things some in the private sector. As a result you are getting allot of Mediocre people in the profession. Not all still some great people are sticking with it just cause the love it and want to do it.
To me, that sounds like an opinion that is based on a negative personal experience rather than one backed up by facts and numbers, or the big picture.
The new teachers that came into my school while i was there were all exemplary, and no where near mediocre.

Of course its entirely impossible to quantitate but you cant tell me the option of spending 7 years making below 25k a year just for a chance to land a 39k starting position isn't off putting to people especially go getters.
Or the ones not really committed to teaching.
would you rather your child's teacher be motivated by money or by desire to teach?
anyone looking for big bucks shouldn't get into teaching. Buy an insurance company or something like that.
