  1. Once upon a time I would have been against this. Now, having seen that many teachers make $45k +/year for a 9month job, I have to support it.. Starting pay for teachers sucks (that I will agree) but that is kinda the way it is supposed to work. When you first enter a field you are not going to make alot of money, then later you make more. I aplaude teachers for what they do but.... EVERY other working class job has taken hits, not asking too much for you to not get a raise this year. You already don't pay social security tax and after 5 years or so make pretty decent money. I DO believe the Super and all other admin should take a cut as well though. No reason to cut just the teachers.
