I'm sure that the top 5% of teachers get paid very well, just as the top 5% of athletes do.

Tenure does not only apply to college professors.

lol!

How can you compare that?

I would rather be in the bottom 95% of teachers, atleast they get a paycheck. The bottom 95% of athletes become gas station attendents making minimum wage.

Nothing there about long-term benefits besides the basics.

Thanks for the link.
I'm sure that "tenure" is a more palatable term for "guaranteed employment, even if you suck."

We'll just have to start a teachers thread to end up talking about the original subject matter.

Yeah it basically is.

But I know it goes by education level, and years of service. My throwing coach and gym teacher is actually the highest paid teacher in the school. He was #2 before my history teacher retired last year, he taught in NY for 35 or 40 years, and had a huge pension plan. Then came to Westfield, which is a very high paying district, and he has a phd, so he was making like 120,000 a year, plus his NY pension.

I know administrators make a lot as well, I was told the AD makes 150.

150K a year to teach gym class and coach!?!
Dang, thats impressive.
It also seems kind of odd that the guy has a Phd and is teaching gym class.
Either way, impressive gig.
I wish I was a teacher.

My coach isnt the athletic director. The AD actually has less experience than this coach does, but hes an administrator, so I guess thats why he makes so much.

And RK, would you rather hear me argue about Moss topics, or talk about teacher salaries?
