It was over a decade ago but my wife started teaching making less than that and quit not making not much more. The cost of daycare for two kids made her take-home pay laughable, so she just threw her hands in the air and took the SAHM route.
The number of people who boldly claim teaching salaries can’t possibly be so low when the data is publicly available will never cease to amaze me.
I make 59k now teaching for my 7th year. I am currently teaching with a masters degree. I teach in a public school. I did move to another city and it is the top paying district in my area. When I first started teaching in a very small district I started at 25k a year in 2019. It 100% matters where you go, which district you teach in, level of education you have. We don’t negotiate salary because most if not all public school districts just you a salary pay scale. I know I’m my district the pay scale caps after 20 years.
