I buy that.  I teach myself and it is very funny to watch when we have all district meetings.  Each grade teacher behaves the way that their students would.  High school people are very serious and business like.  Elementary school teachers are serious but more touchy feely.  Middle school teachers (like me) screw around and throw things and get off task.

It depends.  I started at $24,000 in Ohio at one of the highest-paying private schools (BA degree) and now I'm in Texas, where my starting pay would have been $30,000 at a private school-it all depends on how much money the school has and how generous your principal is.  The difference between the public and private school salary also depends on the principal for the most part.  I receive 95% of what a public school teacher with my experience makes (though I'm told it will be 85% with 20 years experience).  My principal thinks it's very important to pay the teachers well so we don't all leave and go to a public school for the money!!!  I've seen other schools lose good teachers simply because they couldn't afford to raise a family on a private school salary.  This tends not to be the case when the principal cares about the teachers!!!

I teach at a Catholic school and have frankly been afraid to go teach at a public school for the exact reasons you mention. I love my job. The kids are great and there is an atmosphere of happiness most of the time. I am thrilled I don't have to teach to the test. I am glad that I am not questioned on everything I do and held publicly accountable for my teaching decisions. I think it would be so hard to work in an atmosphere where everyone sizes you up based on your students' test scores printed in the newspaper. Yikes!\n\nIs the substituting going better for you? Would you consider going back to Catholic school to teach? How's the money in both?

Yes, according to my high school English teacher friend, you have to be completely fluent in English to be employed for any teaching job in a California public school.

It says DW is going to be the legal guardian of the child, and that the child will be educated within the Cincinnati public school district, in a public school. DW gets to make all the decisions about the child's upbringing.

contact your local public defender and ask for the defender of the day, because you have some law questions... they will be able to help you and guide you in the right direction at no cost

I believe the law says that until you can prove wrong doing, you have to pay the person. They usually put them on paid administration because for some reason or another they don't want the person around just in case the accusation is true. Such as child abuse in the school, if there is any doubt that the adult,(teacher) did it they don't want him/her near the children. Hope this tells you something you wanted to know.

When I started teaching in Louisiana, with a MA and 2 years experience around 1994, I made about $13,000.  I moved to California and teach in Los Angeles, where I make about $60,000.  I finally feel adequately compensated.  I'm able to travel and buy what I want, when I want.  I'm married and my husband is a professor, and his salary is only slightly higher than mine.  In a few more years, I will surpass him in earnings.\n\nSome states are much better paid than others.  If you want to be a teacher, look around you.  Go to where the money is, or get into another field.  Teaching is worthwhile emotionally, but it also really helps to be paid like a professional.  When I was in Louisiana, I didn't feel like a professional.  Now that I'm in California, I feel like I am being paid much better, and my work reflects this.  In Louisiana I felt demoralized.  Here I feel supported.\n\nHope this helps.  Cheers, K, teacher for 14 years\n\nP. S.  What Quatrapiller said is a bunch of crap, by the way.  I and all other teachers don't ALLOW others to get away with not appreciating us.  In fact we kick, scream, fight and yell and DEMAND our just appreciation, because we know we deserve it.  This is one of those old stereotypes that needs to DIE.  I cannot stand self-perpetuating stereotypes.  It's just so WRONG.  \n\nI know I and other teachers aren't at all afraid to step up and demand appreciation and acknowledgement for what we do.  That's part of professionalism: no martyr complex... take pride in what you do... never allow your profession to be put down... build up your profession and your colleagues... demand your just dues.

What I am concerned about as a parent in public schools in California, is that I think my children are not getting the same quality education that other students are getting for example in Washington state. \n\nMy sister in law lives in Bellevue, WA and she says that their Bellevue School District is almost like a private school system. She says that this district has 7 high schools in the top 100 schools in the nation, including Interlake High School, which was 24 this year.\n\nI am just concerned that my children don't have the same quality schooling than others around the nation. I think if the government would give more fundings or somehow more money could be collected, there would be a better future for the kids in California.

Wow, sounds horrifying for you.  Sorry.  First, start gathering evidence, everything you have and can get, to substanciate your accusations.  Also, I believe the Public Defender is protected against hold harmless laws, so maybe you can file a complaint through the District Attorney's office? Start researching this through the state website where you live.  There is much information on each State's site.  Begin researching now before your statute of limitations runs out.\nGood luck to you on this difficult battle my friend.

Very competitive, there are a lot of teachers moving there from oregon and other states because Washington pays better.
