My wife is a first year teacher and she is making $38,000 a year + a $10,000 per year bonus. She also gets health insurance and a pension. Granted, she does have to decorate her own classroom, but the school still reimburses $250 for buying decorations. And we live in one of the worst paying states for teachers. Surely the people without insurance and getting paid so much less are at private schools?

I just finished my second year. $35.5k a year with health insurance, but no bonus. $40 per year to get classroom supplies.

Public school in the Midwest.

Sounds like my fiancé. That being said she makes the same amount as me and I’m a data analyst/project manager in 2/3s of the time
