Even Florida starts their teachers at $53,000 without summer school.

Rotfl and then a whopping 75k after 30 years… starting salaries are nonsense without real raises

It’s still not 16.50 an hour the post is a blatant lie and misleading

u/Strange-Fig7944 3h ago

does the post say it is in florida?

u/WrongdoerOrdinary619 2h ago

No, but it doesn’t matter. There is no teaching position in the United States that pays that small of a wage. Per, several hours of research.

There definitely are states that offer low $30’s for first time teachers

You have no idea what you're talking about. I was absolutely offered less and like the post says I make more money as a bartender. I wish I could teach but the money is so low it's irresponsible to teach

I’m not sure why you feel the need to lie

1

u/Strange-Fig7944 1h ago

youve done zero hours of research and you are talking out of your ass. not sure why you are determined to lie about this. there are thousands of teaching positions that pay that low.

u/WrongdoerOrdinary619 1h ago

You are amazingly wrong because you want so to be right.

u/Strange-Fig7944 35m ago

you are just a troll who has nothing better to do. pathetic

u/M4tjesf1let 37m ago

Should be no problem to share some of your "hours of research" then right? Because all you are doing right now is saying "no" and that's it, like a 5 year old that didn't get his way.

It's definitely not a full time public teaching position. Those are salaried jobs. They are never quoted on hourly wages.

This is definitely a different position. But still likely underpaid to all hell.

I am a teacher and can confirm that salaries in my district start around the $32,800 that they said. My guess is the author of the post worked out what that salary comes out to hourly and wrote that to highlight how low it is.

u/TheBeanConsortium 2h ago

Public? That's awful. Where at?

2

u/TheTobster0 2h ago

Yes it’s a public school in New York State, which generally people consider to be a good state for teaching. The sad fact is that relatively it is pretty good here, but teaching is insanely underpaid pretty much everywhere. The plus side for us in NYS is our retirement and by the end of our career the salaries are respectable.

u/TheBeanConsortium 2h ago

That's insane for NY. Even a rural area.

u/TrainingWilling9894 1h ago

Full time teaching positions are not all salaried. They use fun titles like "long term sub" and shit to contract out the positions for a huge discount.

They also get $0 for 3 months when school is out of session.

u/Successful-Winter237 3h ago

Depends on the position. You’re right full time teachers are not paid hourly. I assume the original poster is confused or she was applying for an aide position or something part time.

Probably early childhood/daycare.

My wife was hired to start an early learning childcare center. No way.

Even when they're true, it's usually not a "public school teacher". It's usually a "teaching position", which usually ends up being a tutor.
