As a retired teacher, please know I started at $8K. My husband started substantially lower. Between us, we taught over 62 years in Buffalo. The contract we retired on over a decade ago is still in place; teachers basically retire on the same final salary, so don't feel bad for taxes -- that didn't go up. Teachers in the city make substantially less than the burbs. Our FAS's (final average salary) on which pensions are based was LOWER than pensions in NYC and LI. (Its the same retirement system; that is how much higher the salaries are there). We also pay Medicare ( so health insurance cost goes up after 65).
**If you want to know how many murderers we taught, PM me. Suburban teachers have a piece of cake.

A year? Hell, most of the most those who think teachers are overpaid wouldn't last long enough to earn their first pay check.
