More like $35k (and around 32 to start) here in CT, (excluding benefits). Yes I expect dedication. If they don't want the job, let someone have it who does. The pay for value is skewered here.

Double that here. And it's for 9 months.

You expect dedication for $25K a year? LOL. You get what you pay for. Pay a professional salary and you will get professional teachers.

$25K per year gets you a babysitter called a teacher.

Professional pay gets you a dedicated professional teacher.

That sounds good but the highest salaries are at the top of the heap in gov't and that isn't working out too well.

Tell me how the highly compensated teachers in Washington D.C. manage to have the worst school system in the country?

Compensation has very little to do with teacher success. However, over-compensation does have a lot to do with districts facing budget crisis.

More like triple that figure for most teacher in the county I live in here in NJ. Most are burnt out teachers that don't want to retire because they know they have it good and just don't want to admit it. Why else would they stay over 30 years?
Tenure needs to go. Put them on contract.
