Education / Teaching thread

I know SO MANY teachers who have a Master's degree plus and are working second and in some case third jobs to supplement their income. It's beyond ridiculous. In my district a Master's only pays you about $1200 more a year. Annual raises are less than $1k and we are one of the higher paid districts in NWLA.

I'm also tired of hearing "you know what the job paid when you took it" that attitude is why so many are leaving the profession.


And from my anecdotal experience, the teachers leaving are the highest qualified. They are tired of having to play AV guy, IT guy, Therapist, teach junior teachers how to use the district's software/LMS systems, meetings that should be emails, only to be gaslighted by administration.
