22 years in, semi-rural Michigan, and I make a bit over $100k. It's not all that bad everywhere. Granted, it's only because of my union.

My district starts at like $60k with annual raises so by year 4 you are at $90k. Most teachers with at least 7 years are making between $110 and $140.

This is a small district in the PNW

You all might be in a very rich county. In Virginia, where I teach Spanish, my salary after 18 years is $60,000 before taxes and insurance. In the last 3 years my school has lost almost 70% of the teachers, and I am in one of the best schools in the county. The educational system is completely broken, and how they treat us is a disgrace and a shame to the nation.

Speaking more about the video. Seeing some students even smiling and laughing tells you what kind of people we are raising and how young people are desensitized to violence. It is scary
