www.seethroughny.net lists LAST YEAR'S salaries for the POB district employees. Considering these salaries are supplemented with all of the benefits (health, vision, dental, pension, vacation, sick, etc)...these numbers are so much higher than I expected. Are they really serious about seeking a raise? And now? Oy gavolt!
Go to the NYS job opportunities website and you find that Doctors (requiring an M.D. degree - with far more schooling and far higher academic requirements) get roughly $140,000/year on average. Long hours, being on-call, working 365/24/7.
If the average teacher salary really is approaching 100k in Plainview...then I ask..do they honestly think that teachers (in NYS) should be earning anything near what a doctor makes in (working for NYS)?
Wow! The system is truly broken.

Just a point of information. I have a doctor in my family and she works HARD. However, I would hardly state she is working 365/24/7. Just wanted to clarify that.
ReplyDeleteRidiculous point...nothing clarified.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever seen a teacher carrying a pager working 'on call'?
6 steps:
ReplyDelete1)goto www.seethroughny.net
2) find your teachers salary
3)multiply the salary by 8/6 to see what it pay for a full day at that rate.
4) multiply step 3 result by 12/10 to carry that to a full year.
5) multiply step 4 result by 1.02 to see how much in annualized salary the teachers declined.
6) Now measure against your own full-time salary (for a full year's work).
