At the middle school where I teach, the entire 7th and 8th grade teaching teams are conservative.
As to teaching salaries, my first position as a teacher (25 years ago), had a salary of less than 10K a year.
I did not go into teaching for the salary neither did I go into it for the vacation.
In fairness I now do make 65K a year but I figure it all balances out in the long run.
LOL! Where do you teach? I used to teach in MA and am now in NH. The faculties are 90% socialist..and openly so!
Yeah? So? 25 years ago, I bought a house in California for less that 25K - the same house now sells for nearly half a million.
Are we supposed to be impressed that your 25 year ago salary was only 10K?
