It’s not bad for a 9-month work year.
(My wife is a teacher)
Do you work?
As a new teacher 35,000 is not a lot to cover a year round schedule. And as the husband of a teacher, you know that teaching does not end when school is out. There is so much prep and grading to do, in order to be effective. Teachers deserve a pay raise, if anything. Cut the salraies of superintendents. Found out ours makes almost $400,000 a year!
If she was a Detroit 75 grand per year teacher you could quit your job. Hell, she could quit her job too since we seem to pay for that as well. LOL
