Teachers get paid way more per hour than any other college profession. Ask any Boeing engineer how much they get paid PER HOUR. I also would ask you to find out what profession still pays a pension vs. 401K plan. The teachers in this state are way overpaid for what they are expected to get paid. Do you mean to tell me that PE and Librarians and other than those who take home homework should get paid the same starting pay as a Boeng engineer? Give me a fricken break. I know. I am married to an engineer. The Bellevue and Tacoma teachers are paid a hell of a lot more per hour than any person staring out. The key is what they get paid per hour. Remember they are working 180 dys and get paid TRI (time, responsibility and incentive pay) that means if they stay later or work over 40 hours on a topic they get paid more... so don't shed a tear without knowing the facts first.
