Those are probably “Net” earnings, after Union Dues are deducted.....
Typical school year is 180 days.
Add back union dues before we talk.
In MI it’s 175 days for a school year.
Lies....
BS....Our teachers are making $40,000 and up.
The average full-time public school teacher will see his or her annual MEA membership dues increased by $111.90, from $457.40 to $569.30 annually, a 25 percent increase.
These dues amounts are in addition to National Education Association (NEA) and local association dues.
12 grand and all the underage sex you can grab.
So, the main point I gathered was: Taxes are too dang high.
But....
What a load of horse dung those numbers are. He should move here to AR, a masters in Conway will bring you $52k +, and it is a right to work state.
Even with the union numbers, they’re still overpaid.
You keep your nose clean, you work hard and do a decent job, and you’ll make more money as you gain experience and (hopefully) wisdom......are teachers immune to this rule as they are to paying for their own health care and pensions? A 2nd year teacher is still a puppy, Masters or no.
When was the last time that you met a union leader who was not a liar?
Maybe they shouldnt be paying union dues.
I started as a bachelors at 28K a year and bought a house and supported a stay at home wife and a daughter in a new house that I paid for.
It’s called a budget.
I don't know about the accuracy of that statement either since I know a gal who retired at the age of 48 and a guy who retired at 50........the gal was from the Waterford school district and the guy from the Detroit school system.
Conway, Arkansas, hometown of Joey Lauren Adams. I lived there 1079-1981. Loved it.
And many teachers can’t speak English.
I bet this is some "teachers aide" getting a sweet paid intern gig.
Look, personally, I think good teachers should be paid A LOT! But, the current system simply won't reward those teachers and places the shitbirds on equal terms with the stellar ones. Its the Union way.
I would love to see merit pay / bonus pay for good teachers; but they need to be judged individually based on performance against other peers and the "product" they are turning out; namely our next generation.
I truly loathe unions; they are parasitic.
Can’t blame someone working as a teacher in detroit for taking early retirement...
