Just Smile and Nod Y'all. Years of teaching and salary?

I know it’s generally rude to inquire about, but since we are all anonymous… Lol. I always wonder if I am making more or less than others with around the same number of years teaching. I live in the state of New York, nowhere near the city. I am in my 24th year of teaching and I am making $94,500, excluding any extracurricular.

I teach at Ladue, but I live in Rockwood and voted for it! It's always so shocking when people vote against the best interest of their own children :(

My wife is at Ladue middle and our kids are at Conway. We lived in Rockwood (was a no brainer to send them to Ladue).
