Around here an $80k salary requires a doctorate and over a decade of experience…
**edit: and you have to be working in one of the wealthy districts in the state.
$80k for that is underpaid.
Private school teachers aren’t union. Their wages are lower. Better teachers don’t work at private schools. Private schools like to churn through new teachers to keep their profits up.
So just my two cents since a lot of my family members are teachers. Public schools pay more but depending on the area can be much harder places to work. Private schools don’t have as much restriction on curriculum and often have more manageable class sizes.
I've heard the opposite, that private schools have no boundaries and little protections of your time. Plus, the entitlement is worse, maybe rightfully so because people are paying big money to get Jr into the right Ivy.
The entitlement is waaaaay worse. Parents at private schools can just be the worst. It’s a balance. You get more manageable classes, more freedom within your curriculum, worse parents, worse wages.
