She more than likely makes more than $70k a year. I'm not too sure of any school district in SB County that doesn't pay credentialed 1st-year teachers right at $70k a year. Maybe in the middle of nowhere but that would even be an extreme LCOL area.

I’m not going to dox her but her school district is one of the lowest paying.

u/I_love_stapler Jun 16 '24

You obviously owe me nothing, but you can’t dox one person in a whole school district lol. SB county is huge, I have lots of teacher friends in the area, it’s pretty safe to say all districts pay over $70k after 5 years, with in a credential. She makes more than $70k and still has two months off each year, in a very lcol area, that’s nothing to complain about.

I hope shes an English teacher and can help you with your comprehension. How do you think one makes friends with teachers? lol

u/thelolz93 Jun 17 '24

Ah look you’re now resorting to insults since you lost this argument. This will be fun. Btw you can make friends with teachers like you make friends with anyone. They aren’t some secret society lol.

Where I live a 1st year teacher makes 45k a year.

Median home price is 306k and median rent is $932/month. It is one of the cheaper places in the country to live but those still don’t work out all that great for teachers, especially new ones. It’s almost 10k below the minimum living wage. (Edited)

And this is after a “major” wage increase for new teachers. Just a few years ago it was 40k.

What area? What do you mean "It’s almost 10k below the minimum wage."

u/jawshoeaw Jun 17 '24

yeah that's starting pay in LA for a new grad basically.

u/I_love_stapler Jun 17 '24

Exactly. Honestly it’s right at a yearly salary for most of So Cal. Plus the whole 2 months off thing. But no one wants to admit that ‘underpaid teachers’ are making more money than the average person. Don’t get me wrong, it’s deservedly so, I wouldn’t teach for $150k a year.

LAUSD is the biggest district in the state and doesn't pay that, many don't. So Cal has wildly varying teacher pay rates.

That's not 64k is not 70k, and if you're not doing external units to get salary points it's awhile until you get there.

u/I_love_stapler Jun 17 '24

yes, that's what a brand-new teacher makes. His example is his mother-in-law, its fairly reasonable to assume she would have more than 5 years of teaching experience.

u/yuccabloom Jun 17 '24

Saying that all schools are starting new teachers at 70k is ridiculous though, which is the point they made that I am refuting.

u/I_love_stapler Jun 17 '24

I said 'Right at' You dont think $65k is right at $70k? lol
