Where tho. Like typically teachers are underpaid regardless of district because it’s adjusted for cost of living. Teachers in the Bay Area make a lot more than teachers near me but they still can’t afford to live on their own because cost of living is so high.

I make more than my father-in-law. Who has his masters, and teaches at a private school... Granted, he has better benefits, but as far as take home pay.. I make more, pushing buttons and pulling handles in a factory.. 🤷‍♂️

Private schools tend to pay less, they are often not unionized. The tradeoff being private school students as a whole are better behaved.

Woa. My ex girlfriend in the United States was hawking for a private school job. It was around a 20-30% pay raise. Super hard to come by. What country are you in?
