Salary for teachers?
I worked for a number of years both in NYC schools as well as the suburbs. Your statement needs correction. The Salary you quote for teachers in NYS varies Greatly throughout the state. NYC with some of the toughest districts pays some of the lowest salaries…$63k average, a far cry from your quote.…The other extreme are the Very Wealthy Suburbs of Bronxville, Bedford, Armonk who signed Rich contracts pushing up that average. Does that mean that charging $25,000 in school property taxes to pay High Teacher Salaries is the model we should advocate? Teachers deserve to be properly compensated, but we also need to look at results achieved, and NYS according to US News & World Report is paying some of the Highest and doesn’t come close to achieving the results…..;2131228]New York highest teacher salary average $90,000+....
Earlier thread, I mentioned that our values are "out of whack", how can our state, not be ashamed, paying a profession that is so important to our future such a pathetic amount to our teachers.
Please, for those asking me to leave if I don't like it, I suggest we fix this problem by cutting our legislators salaries until it's fixed.[/QUOTE]
