That's nothing...they're all Democrats...
The new North Allegheny School District (Allegheny County, suburb of Pittsburgh) contract finalized this week will pay those at the top of the pay scale (which doesn't take all that many years to get to...) $96,000+ beginning next year.
Now that the bar has been set; the rest of the surrounding districts will have to pony up...is $100,000K next ??? for 8 months work??? I've been a CPA for 18 years; certified in two states, and have an MBA; can be fired tomorrow, have taken less than half of the meager time off that I've been 'permitted' to have off. I've gotten a check for three weeks accrued vacation from both of my last two employers when I departed...in other words ZERO DAYS OFF...and I have yet to get $96,000...not close yet.
The local Catholic schools start at $16,000 and top out in the low $20,000's.
The Republicans are the party of the Little Guy. The Democrats are the party of the Academic Elite and the Welfare Elite...

Well, become a teacher then.
In Georgia they have a fast-track program for people who already have at least a bachelors degree but haven't taken any education courses.
We're not all demos. Man, $96,000. I will never make that in my lifetime if I keep teaching (I might get up to about half of it if I'm lucky). Wow! Where can I sign up?
