How much do teachers make? 📚 #worldteachersday #salarytransparentstreet

The pre school teacher with 7 years of experience making 33k made me so sad

[jtaylor]

Just FYI, these teachers who are making ~100K all seem to live around DC, in Silver Springs, Arlington, Alexandria, etc. It is also one of the highest cost of living areas in the country, and so it's not the norm. We live outside of Richmond, VA, and teachers make around 50K here.

That Para educator deserves so much more than 15k.

All you teachers are the back bone to this country, along with truck drivers. You guys deserve better.

I was a paraeducator for 10 years while my kids were in school(teacher’s aide for a high school special Ed class. After taxes, union dues, health insurance, and then taking out for holidays, I made a consistent $361. every 2 weeks working regular 7:30-2:30 5 days a week for the most part. No pay for summer breaks which was fine (no work no pay). Left there got a grocery store job and made double that in a week for almost same amount of hours. Teacher’s aides need more pay. Period.

100k a year is not enough money. These folks sacrifice a lot to teach our children and they should be compensated much more. The guy that said 15k hurt my heart.

[thomasodonnell]

Man I'm the paraeducator too bro I feel that 12 years under 15k

[stephaniel]

Some teachers are really underpaid and for others it takes years to hit $100K.

[lempiralives]

EVERY teacher should make atleast 90k to live comfortably in a country that values its education

[lexismith]

Teachers are some of the most hardworking yet severely underpaid people that I know. They do so much for our children, they deserve more respect and pay!

I’m a teacher…6 years of experience….I make over $100k. But my base is $84k. I make extra money by working summer school for 6 weeks, grading state exams, and working after school (an extra 2 hrs per day).

Edit: my base is $90k now.

I'm a teacher in Los Angeles - i make 58k with two years of full-time experience . I have 10 years of experience in childcare and part-time teaching .

[ballzonyuh]

Bruh, pay these people more. They raise our children eight hours a day until they’re 18 lol. I’m in sales making 350K+ at 25 yrs old and my job is unimportant compared to teaching lol

I used to be a kindergarten and preschool teacher and came up with English teaching curriculums involving songs poetry, storytelling, reading, phonics, and physical activities every single day. I put in so many hours outside of class time into research, prepping materials and crafts, and tackling discipline in the classroom. It was extremely rewarding and difficult work and it makes me sick when ppl say that this kind of job is so easy and doesn’t deserve more than minimum wage.

Preschool teachers are so under appreciated. They take care of us in some of the most important years as we develop. The way they treat us and our parents literally shape our whole lives. They have a huge impact on us.

My mom an assistant teacher in a special Ed class and has been teaching all my life ( I’m also a teacher) and she was so proud of me when I made more than her my first year teaching. All teachers need more pay!!! They are all essential parts in your child’s life

[jaellyjellybean]

As a former paraprofessional we do so much of the teaching as well. Many a times we do the hands on work while the teacher is at the desk tackling paperwork. Yes we deserve a better pay.

[MsKabee]

It takes a kind soul and lots of patience to be a teacher. They are so underrated and deserves so much more. To this day I still remember all of my elementary teachers. They are wonderful human beings who goes above and beyond!❤❤🙏🏻

[wuzittooya]

Educators deserve more, period. Especially the early years- 55 BASE/STARTING - no exceptions.

Ask the about their debt. ASK THEM ABOUT THEIR DEBT!!
