    Oh and my bad, I am $63.5 this year and my wife is at $69. What I said was next years salaries. 
    There are a lot of people in this country, and a few on here, who believe that you and your wife are overpaid and underworked.
    Absolutely.  I d love for them to teach just one week and see if their opinion changes. If you suck these kids will eat you alive lol. 
    Of course those kids will eat you alive.
    They'e been in the govt. indoctrination centers, I mean public schools, being brainwashed 
    That is college, not middle school lol. 
    Not according to the person on here who stayed that there will be no more public  schools in 20 years.

    But yes those damn college brainwash the hell out of those elites

    How much does a teacher make per month in the US on average - a teacher for 16-19 year olds. What we call the gymnasium, and I guess you call college?
    I am on step 14 in my district (teaching 17 years overall but they didn't take any of my years) and make just under $70,000. My wife in on step 15 (19 years overall and same thing) and makes $73k.  It depends on the district and state.    After 21 years I'll "top" out making around $102k.  We both teach 8th grade across the hall from each other lol.  
    $70k and $73k for 9 months of work - that's pretty good if you ask me.
    After 14 and 15 years of work? What is your profession and salary?

    We must use different lingo here.  What is involved in  maintenance for a school board?

    Brian schools are old.  They need lots of repairs.  Never discount the importance of good custodians and secretaries.  I sometimes always wondered if schools could function without those positions.

    Ah, yes!  When I was in elementary school my favorite adult was not any of the 6 teachers I had over the years (though some were good) nor the two principles or the nurse or the secretary.  No, my favorite adult was the custodian (he referred to himself as the janitor).  His name was Mr.  Billwax.  He was kind, wise, handy as hell, funny and always took time to talk to us kids. 

    I'm used to thinking of school board as people a group of people who do the hiring, set school policy, plan events, etc.  So I was thinking, how do you maintain a group like that.  Ah, but you mean maintaining the school itself.  Yes, that is an essential and good job.  Bravo and good work!

    Yup, the custodians are good people.  It's not easy work.  Many people think it is.  Same as secretaries ... every job within schools are important ...

    Final Fantasy took me on an airship to the moon for an epic battle against evil.  School gave me government cheese and wedgies.
