Hate to burst your bubble but beginning teachers who are just starting out now are making $48000/yr...not to mention, they work a lot more that what most people think...as a teacher myself, I am usually at school for 7 am and don't generally leave before 5 or 5:30...and then there are the times when we stay until 8 pm like last night for meet the teacher night, and then don't forget about all those report cards we have to write (which by the way, generally take anywhere from 3-4 weeks to do)...and oh, the behaviours, and kids with ADHD, ADD, Autism and any other of a multitude of special needs that require individual attention...I LOVE my job, but get disappointed when I hear/see comments like these...please join a teacher for a day, and then make that comment...
What in this thread would suggest we talk about brand new teachers? This thread is about people making 100k. A teacher is at the top pay after what..... 5 years, or is it 7?
Please show me in your collective agreement where it states how many hours you should be working?
I worked with a manager at GM that went back to teachers college even though she was making $125K........it's tough to beat $83K, summers off, great pension and to top it off be in a union.
So they start at $48k, so they get $5000 a year raise they max out.....that's a pretty big % raise every year isn't it?
Sweet gig in Canada, considering other European countries require up to 5 years of teacher education, not one year like here.
