  1. go on about demonstrably false... How much does a Public School Teacher in Houston, TX make? The median annual Public School Teacher salary in Houston, TX is $56,017, as of April 29, 2018, with a range usually between $48,903-$64,669 not including bonus and benefit information and other factors that impact base pay. the $48,903 divided by 200 teacher work days comes to $244 a day. take that into a private sector employee that works 250-260 days= $63k. a teacher is contracted for 187 days, there are 250-260 working days in the private sector.
  2. That is where they are slotted currently per year, if not more.
  3. how much more. what number is it. there are a lot of important jobs. should elementary teachers be paid more than HS? are classes more important than others? should those teachers be paid more? he qualified her, but he made his complaint his own. tl/dr...what are the specific numbers and why?
  4. this is going to come across as insensitive, but these are choices that have been made by you and your wife. why should that burden fall at the feet of tax payers for an increased salary that is by some data pretty accurate. what does the cost of daycare have anything to do with teaching? let me ask this question...when your wife committed to doing her student teaching did she not know how much a pre-k special ed teacher made? what was her expectation? a payroll clerk is paid less than your wife, this is a job that must be done in order to pay employees. it is a job that NEEDS to be done. SOMEBODY needs to do it. MOST people couldnt handle it for very long at a quality level.
  5. I think it is interesting what the number is. for me, if it was an 80k salary I may have hung around. knowing what I know now and my current earning potential there is not a dollar amount that could bring me back to education.
  6. understood. however, having a 50+ day less commitment to the employer has to be a perk that is accounted for. lots of folks take different positions for different reasons work/life balance being one of them. the other point regarding a private sector employee working 250 plus days and earning the equivalent to 60k/yr salary is that those jobs arent readily available across the country. so what is the number teachers are asking for? how can it be supported? it keeps being stated too low, need more- but there is no support to bring the bottom number up besides under paid, and i think they are slotted pretty accurately given the data, the benefits, retirement, and 50+ day less work commitment.
  7. Under Section 21.401 of the Texas Education Code, teacher contracts must be for a minimum of 187 days of service. Under Section 25.081, a school district must provide 180 days of instruction for students.
  8. based on what since you are a not a labor, education, economics person? How much does a Public School Teacher in Houston, TX make? The median annual Public School Teacher salary in Houston, TX is $56,017, as of April 29, 2018, with a range usually between $48,903-$64,669 not including bonus and benefit information and other factors that impact base pay. the $48,903 divided by 200 teacher work days comes to $244 a day. take that into a private sector employee that works 250-260 days= $63k. where do you go from here?
  9. What do you think they should be paid?
  10. What number? I asked Larry what number would have retained his services- no answer. The problem is that a talented teacher being talented in the private sector simply will create a ceiling for themselves by staying in education. So what is the number for higher pay if $50k is the average?
  11. should be and is for some are 2 different stories.
  12. 3 pages later... no data to support a wage increase. we do have a poster who thinks that some one who does more, manages more kids, takes on more responsibility should have the same pay as someone who doesnt take on those additional responsibilities. makes sense.
  13. probably had as much to do with it as hs science lol...
  14. and it wasnt from finishing high school science. the QB of the 9-1 team is probably the pilot of the f22.
  15. the usaf calls random hs grads on their cell to ask them the question or are their qualified folks who have earned the right to answer that question? seems like there are so many f-22 fuel calculating jobs open these days.
  16. there are a lot of life lessons taught in competitive sports at the hs level, not just football. i would believe to the avg student who didnt go into a scientific field, but played sports uses more of what they learned in athletics then what they learned in a hs science classroom- no facts, just my guess. lots of things to learn in athletics...i.e. a learning institution. You must hate Longhorn Football based on your response to hs football coaches.
  17. my father was a very successful basketball coach (now retired). He has his masters which in Texas gets you a $1k/year raise as $500/year for no masters. The most he made is low/mid 70's in his last 4 years...That matters to TRS. The most money he made in his life is the year after he retired. There is no defense of my dad, but more of you have zero idea of what the dynamics are behind a coaches compensation. I am also of not paying teachers more (including if my dad was still teaching). I just havent seen the data to support more money. Lastly, in any decent negotiation real numbers are used, not more or less. All I see is more.
  18. i glanced over it, probably the same way you glanced over the stipend portion. again taking LT, Katy, Allen, et al does not tell the story for the State of Texas...those are high profile programs with more incoming revenue than some district's tax deliverables.
  19. the coach is in sales. if his product is shit = no revenue, short job life. if his product is good = revenue. this is only for football. if a science teacher is shit they could remain employed by the district for years. if a science teacher is great no one is buying a ticket or concessions, the band and drill team arent marching around with their parents in the stands to watch the science teacher excel. not my economics.
  20. and most districts have a policy that the fb coach cant make more than the principal. i will go with my father being in the coaching business for 30 years and my personal experience instead of a one off coach that you want to hang your hat on.
  21. you have to account for the AD salary/principal as well which i suspect is the case with this one off example...There are also campus coordinators for larger districts. if a coach/sport is bringing in significant revenue he should absolutely make more than the science teacher who isnt generating revenue for the district. just like in the real world, revenue producers simply make more than those who are a cost center. pretty simple concept to understand.
  22. You can call it whatever you want... but finding a handfull of football coaches who are supported by the booster club wont give you the story of the thousands of other coaches in women and mens athletics. Also, some FB coaches are the AD which contributes to the salary. Sorr for you to be so wrong, it probably felt better for you not knowing the facts.
  23. they dont get paid more than science teachers. they get paid a stipend of 2k-5k'ish depending on how many sports they coach. so saying that coaches get higher salaries is false in Texas.
  24. Welp, its not and another poster just named a few.
  25. At what pay rate would they have been able to retain you as a teacher. For discussion lets say your salary was 50k...
