Just FYI, these teachers who are making ~100K all seem to live around DC, in Silver Springs, Arlington, Alexandria, etc. It is also one of the highest cost of living areas in the country, and so it's not the norm. We live outside of Richmond, VA, and teachers make around 50K here.

Whether in Oregon or Oklahoma teachers deserve $90k for the shit they put up with. I feel bad making more doing accounting which is so boring and not very impactful to others like children.
100k a year is not enough money. These folks sacrifice a lot to teach our children and they should be compensated much more. The guy that said 15k hurt my heart.
As a former paraprofessional we do so much of the teaching as well. Many a times we do the hands on work while the teacher is at the desk tackling paperwork. Yes we deserve a better pay.
I'm a teacher and I agree with you. A good para is gold to a teacher, especially those working in special education, where teaching and case management means we are basically doing the amount of admin work a CEO of a company would have multiple executive assistants to delegate to.
I used to be a kindergarten and preschool teacher and came up with English teaching curriculums involving songs poetry,storytelling, reading, phonics, and physical activities every single day. I put in so many hours outside of class time into research, prepping materials and crafts, and tackling discipline in the classroom. It was extremely rewarding and difficult work and it makes me sick when ppl say that this kind of job is so easy and doesn’t deserve more than minimum wage.
Agreed! As a pre school teacher I can attest to the amount of time and care we put into lessons and activities. I love my job so it’s worth it bc I enjoy my days. My pay isn’t anywhere near what I deserve.
My mom an assistant teacher in a special Ed class and has been teaching all my life ( I’m also a teacher) and she was so proud of me when I made more than her my first year teaching. All teachers need more pay!!! They are all essential parts in your child’s life
Bruh, pay these people more. They raise our children eight hours a day until they’re 18 lol. I’m in sales making 350K+ at 25 yrs old and my job is unimportant compared to teaching lol
Preschool teachers are so under appreciated. They take care of us in some of the most important years as we develop. The way they treat us and our parents literally shape our whole lives. They have a huge impact on us.
I’m a preschool teacher and don’t make as much as half of them. I’ve worked in childcare for over 13 years and have been promoted to curriculum/ office work along with running my pre-k class but still underpaid and make the same as some who have no experience and do way less. Trying to keep my head up but it can be hard at times. Love watching my students progress and grow though. ❤
Do you have a degree? Are you running a daycare that also educates children? That's different than a school teacher. Experience and efficiency will only take you so far in academia without a formal education.
Pre school teachers are paid very little and usually they’re job does not revise health insurance. It’s terrible. Imagine being in charge of 12-25 beautiful babies, going to school for to learn about child development and education, having to continue taking courses over the year so the facility can be accredited and being called a “ baby sitter”
@@margicates553 l love teaching the pre-schoolers too, but not enough to be broke! Obtain a BA or MA, teach in a public school in an affluent district or tri-state district, switch to teaching k-3, or become an au pair. You will increase your income is make some changes.
Well keep in mind that teaching no longer requires any teaching acumen. They are all activists & are thus vastly overpaid. Filling kids heads with trash takes no talent.
It takes a kind soul and lots of patience to be a teacher. They are so underrated and deserves so much more. To this day I still remember all of my elementary teachers. They are wonderful human beings who goes above and beyond!❤❤🙏🏻
You get what you pay for. I’d pay more for security than I would pay to have my child taught intersectionality, lgbt stuff and velvet racism. And NOT even learn finances, how one starts a business or managing their lives responsibly.
My wife is a para for special needs kids. She comes home with bite marks, she gets hit, kicked and head butted. Sometimes it's overwhelming for her but she goes back to it every single day...for the kids! I love her for that. She makes about 15,000 a year.
Location is SO important. Some states like New York have a high salary but cost of living is very high. Teachers in upstate New York have a lower cost of living and make a relatively good salary. Other areas they make nothing and have high cost of living.
@@GorgieClarissa nope. I used to be a paraeducator. I taught k-3 and specialized in the Barton method for dyslexic children. I also taught ESL for k-5. I made 8.13 an hour and every year I got a 1% raise. So pennies. We were paid by grants from the government. It paid crap so I had to quit as much as I loved that job. I said it paid in smiles and hugs. Sometimes I was pulled to sub classes when they couldn't get a sub. Because I was a grant employee I didn't get paid sub wages on those days.
These people get summers off and work a saturated job market performing a government job. These people have outrageously inflated salaries because they are union.
@@overnightclassic2 People making a living wage in expensive communities is making you angry? Even worse, the people that educate children and prevent societal collapse? Those are the people that shouldn't survive?
I felt so bad at the para-educator making 15 grand a year, felt it was too low, but 15,000 US dollars in my country is a lot, with that salary you're pretty much a high income earner Edit: Yes I know, in the US 15 grand is small, but it really depends where you are because the cost of living in every state is different from the other. However, I do think that whatever the price of goods/services in the US are pretty much the same in my country. It's 1 dollar to 59 pesos. Inflation is high. That said, it's still unfair to get 15k annually for that kind of work. Sad.
a paraprofessional is different than a teacher, they have less qualifications I believe and they ultimately make way less no matter where you are. I feel like it’s more of a stepping stone than an actual career
He's not a teacher, first of all. And second of all, he doesn't have a full-time job. He's probably working 6 hours per day with summers off, Christmas break off, Thanksgiving break off, Spring break off, etc.
As a former pre-school teacher, it saddens me that we still aren’t getting paid enough. You get it all, kids with disabilities, bad home lives, impoverished, etc. and because they are so young there is no way to “route” them unless the parents take the extra steps to enroll them in the programs they need. When I was teaching, there were a handful of my student’s who were on the spectrum and were tossed into environments that did not suit there unique needs and neurodivergence. Every-morning it was a battle that I fought until the day I quit. Many pre-school programs exploit there workers and take advantage of the state teacher-student ratios. Many times it’s all about profit and figuring how many students can you stuff in one building to not exceed guidelines while also underpaying the workers. The days are longer as many facilities offer joint pre-k , daycare, and after school accommodations (6:00-7:00) and the turnover rates are ridiculous. Every-time you turn on the news, a daycare is being exposed for child-neglect. But when you have people who open shop for the sole purpose of government subsidies and profit….these stories are bound to happen.
I'm a teacher and the salary is based on location (state and school district), type of school you teach in (private, public, or charter) how many years you've been teaching, education (graduate degrees get you more money) and sometimes what grade or subject you teach. You can also make more money doing summer school or taking on afterschool positions.
People are right, location is extremely important. A lot of those teachers that were interviewed, live in cities and expensive areas. Like in Connecticut you can make 50,000+ for being a teacher. Some states you make a lot, others you barely make anything. Most of the teachers where I live, don’t make anything and they barely scrape by. Our schools here are so poor, it’s ridiculous. It’s to the point where, sometimes they can’t even afford to pay the teachers. My high school actually closed down because of the financial struggles. The school not being able to pay the teachers. The teachers getting pissed off and taking it out on the children. Which would happen in public school too. In public school… We didn’t have a math teacher, because we couldn’t afford one. So all the teachers, had to teach different levels of math. Our teachers made so little, that they didn’t really give a shit about teaching. To the point where some of them, wouldn’t even teach. Our science teacher, just sat at his desk and taught once a year. He never graded anything, he just checked it off. Our labs? We’re us playing with blood pressure cuffs, to see who could handle the most pain. The longer you lasted, the higher your grade. Other teachers would take it out on us too, because they weren’t making enough. I remember we would even give them food for Christmas gifts, and they would be like. “I know you think it’s a joke but I need this. I’m really struggling. So thanks!” My social studies teacher, he could barely pay his rent and his wife was a teacher too. He did construction in the summertime and he taught night school. Just to make extra money, so he can get by.
@@johnjames502 Obviously you're a teacher (or close to one!) and know how it works! You know that at most, a lot of teachers in rural areas have to get second jobs to make ends meet! The problem isn't the people paid 100k a year, it's people like you who don't respect teachers enough to have an ounce of empathy for what they go through.
Damn, teachers in the state Im from went on strike because they were making about 20-50k a year. My middle school teacher had to work at a pizza place during summers
@@kaseyc5078 exactly..I had a Biology teacher who spent everyday for years drunk. He would have vodka in his coffee mug. He went out like the last semester of school and ended up passing away that year due to cirrhosis of the liver. The school had to give all his students a straight C whether they deserved it or not due to him never actually grading anything or having records of anything. Messed up plenty of students gpa's. But it was either that or the students could retake it in summer school.
When I chose my major, I did a lot of research regarding prevailing wage, history of wages, demand, and anything else that would affect my life in that particular career. As much as I admire these educators, getting a degree in something you're compassionate about doesn't always pay. It's important to know this to avoid burn out.
How are y’all complaining about teachers who have been in the profession for over a decade & live in a part of the US where the cost of living is very high making $100k? How would you feel if you were at your job for 17 years making the same amount of money you started at when the cost of living is only increasing over the course of that 17 years? Your stupidity is showing. Might wanna cover that up.
Not complaining about what they are paid. Upset they constantly complain about needing more pay, but they make more than and have better benefits and job security than anyone else in the country and they didn't work for 2 years and still have the audacity to be complaining and acting attacked by parents who just want them to actually teach.
I asked my father about it who taught for 33 years. even he wassurprised. You're basically classroom aide. but he said a lot of people do it because benefits can be really good. like Healthcare for your whole family good. I have to assume he doing it part time while in school or something
I just quit finally being a paraprofessional. 5 years at the same company FT and take home pay was only $23,000, so the fact that he made $15,000, I would have quit. But a new hire told me after taxes she only made $900 a month in IL. So there’s a reason the turnover is high in these positions.
And you would fail. You have no clue of how many people say this and their kids fail because people have no clue how hard it is to deal with kids for most of their day. Most parents just drop their kids off and leave them as long as they can and have no reason to. Some parents send their kids to befor care, school and aftercare. That’s 12 hours your not with kids. Must be nice as parents nowadays who have no life and still don’t want time with their kids. I know plenty of accountants who make way more than you and they are younger. Obviously you aren’t good at your job.
Good luck. Covid has delayed the vast majority of our kids. The ms math teacher I work with has a class where half of his students are on IEPs. He has a 6th grader who can’t do basic multiplication tables. If you plan on switching and get a class like that, how do you plan on raising the skills of that child (and the other IEP students) while also teaching those at grade level algebraic equations? Just because you’re good at math doesn’t mean you’re good at teaching it. We need teachers, but we also need good ones. If you’re willing to put in the work, please join us, but don’t make jokes about how you’re underpaid at your job just because you saw some random numbers online.
@@BubblyViolin11 like I said I used to tutor math students. I think the thing is to get kids to understand the logic behind math. Most teachers are just content on teaching what their given in the textbooks but they're not teaching 'why'. That was my job to come in and tutor students in math and show them why and how once they get that down pat math gets easier. They have to understand that multiplication is a faster way of adding and that algebra is a faster way of multiplying. And the same goes for division and fractions. And if you can show them the beauty in math such as multiplication of nines where every answer will equal the number nine or the sum of nine they get it.
@@flamingpieherman9822 Tutoring isn’t the same as teaching. If you truly feel like you can make a difference, please join us. But I wouldn’t be so quick to judge all math teachers. It’s one thing to work one on one with a student, but when you have a class of 30, and 8 of them have IEPs with accommodations, 5 are low/below grade level, and 2 are undiagnosed and you need to gather data on, and that’s just for ONE class out of the 6 you have everyday, there’s only so much wiggle room you can get.
Wow that crazy. I have no degree and make 115k which is actually less than I ever made in the last few years. I recently stepped down from doing real-time energy trading where I made 175-200k per yr but had to work rotating nights and weekends. You are way underpaid my dude.
Actually it's all the policies that benefit the private sector. And in GOP states with GOP governments, the salaries for teachers are the lowest in the country.
We also have to pay for health insurance, which barely covers anything. Plus, medical care is extremely expensive in the States. Not only that, these teachers live in work in some of the most expensive places to live in the country.
I'm in BC, Canada. The average elementary/high school teacher salary is around $55K. Our cost of living is crazy, so that really doesn't go far for most.
i just wanna point out. the ones that are making 60k+ most likely have a Doctorate degree. My mother has her masters and makes right at 60. My aunt has her Doctorate and makes 90K
Yeah but rent goes for about 2.4K for a small apartment and single families go for a lot more. The cost of living is high so the 100k may not be equivalent due to location.
@@yaboynarco literally what I was thinking. The DMV area isn’t cheap and with nearly a 7% housing rate and about 600-700k homes for the Arlington, Springfield, Alexandria, DC, Bethesda, Silver spring, hell even Laurel area it’s not worth it lmao. The only place “worth it” would be Baltimore but even then there’s a bunch of offenders in that area
The higher your level of education, the more you get paid. It also depends heavily on area you work and benefits matter. If you are going to be a teacher, mu main suggestions are shop around for a good district and plant your roots asap, and climb that college ladder right away to get the highest degree level you can so you earn more money faster.
Alot teachers don't make enough. It usually depends on how long they've been in their career, their district, the type of school, how much that school gets funded, etc.
They're living in one of the most expensive areas in the country...and most of them at that level are either specialized or have at least 10 years of experience
Teachers that don’t indoctrinate kids should be paid a fair live able wage. Teachers that indoctrinate or pass along sexual/gender preferences should be jailed.
@@Pdmc-vu5gj so then i guess you’re in denial of what some teachers are doing. Its all over UA-cam, project veritas has videos of it. So keep telling yourself it isn’t happening. Delta alpha. I live in the DC area.
@@Empty7775 I'm in the DC area as well. You have to be specific. If a teacher tells their students that there are different types of people in this world - straight, gay, trans, and we should be tolerant of all types, I have no problem with that. That's not grooming anyone. Being gay is something a person figured out themselves. It comes intrinsically. But historically gay students are harassed and bullied. Especially in evangelical Christian areas of the country. So raising awareness and tolerance is a good thing.
@@Pdmc-vu5gj my initial comment has no causation to whether a teacher is underpaid or valued. Each person is responsible for their contribution, or lack of. More so, your own inability to be tolerant, while using discriminatory language towards someone’s religious beliefs, is a joke. You need to step outside your “safe space” and get the fresh air of truth and not what you have been trained to think.
I'm a hairstylist. I make 150k base. But I work with celebrities from time to time and that will SIGNIFICANTLY RAISE what I make. For example I groomed a male celeb this year for the emmys. A grooming is a trim, beard shaping, style & filler. $1000. It took an hour to do🙂
you didn't hear the rest saying mostly around 50k? you realize they also don't get paid over time and often have to supply supplies. those are probably teachers at rich areas
You have to factor in cost of living. Those making $100k and over all worked in areas close to Washington DC. That money doesn’t go very far in those areas since cost of living is so high. They also most likely have multiple degrees and if you listened carefully, they both had over a decade of experience. If you stay in the same district long enough (assuming they’re public school teachers), you’ll get to the top of the pay scale, but that takes years of experience and you can’t move districts.
@@user-ic1ii7ky8p That’s debatable. It really depends on the type of private school. Larger ones that charge $25k+ a year for tuition will pay their teachers better, but if you work in a well funded public district, you could easily make more money than private school teachers. My friend and I both worked at small private schools and we qualified for government subsidized housing on our salaries. Teachers at both of our schools transferred to public districts because it paid better, and we’re talking Los Angelas county, where teachers are notoriously underpaid.
The pre school teacher with 7 years of experience making 33k made me so sad

You can blame unions. Good teachers should make more than bad teachers. That's what negotiating at average denominator does. But they don't know any better.
Yeah, that working 9 months out of the year must be rough.
I can think of many jobs that are way more underpaid, for hard intense labor...
@@johnjames502we deal with children you fail to raise
EVERY teacher should make atleast 90k to live comfortably in a country that values its education
That's absurd, 90k is a shitload for someone who gets like 3.5 months off every year.
That’s absurd because everywhere the cost of living is different. What is your idea of comfortably? Some of these teachers are overpaid.

100k a year is not enough money. These folks sacrifice a lot to teach our children and they should be compensated much more. The guy that said 15k hurt my heart.
As a former paraprofessional we do so much of the teaching as well. Many a times we do the hands on work while the teacher is at the desk tackling paperwork. Yes we deserve a better pay.
Why not go back to school?
I'm a teacher and I agree with you. A good para is gold to a teacher, especially those working in special education, where teaching and case management means we are basically doing the amount of admin work a CEO of a company would have multiple executive assistants to delegate to.

@@NG-nx8wd yes ! The amount of responsibility is huge for you all. I knowwww
I used to be a kindergarten and preschool teacher and came up with English teaching curriculums involving songs poetry,storytelling, reading, phonics, and physical activities every single day. I put in so many hours outside of class time into research, prepping materials and crafts, and tackling discipline in the classroom. It was extremely rewarding and difficult work and it makes me sick when ppl say that this kind of job is so easy and doesn’t deserve more than minimum wage.
Agreed! As a pre school teacher I can attest to the amount of time and care we put into lessons and activities. I love my job so it’s worth it bc I enjoy my days. My pay isn’t anywhere near what I deserve.
My mom an assistant teacher in a special Ed class and has been teaching all my life ( I’m also a teacher) and she was so proud of me when I made more than her my first year teaching. All teachers need more pay!!! They are all essential parts in your child’s life
Bruh, pay these people more. They raise our children eight hours a day until they’re 18 lol. I’m in sales making 350K+ at 25 yrs old and my job is unimportant compared to teaching lol
Preschool teachers are so under appreciated. They take care of us in some of the most important years as we develop. The way they treat us and our parents literally shape our whole lives. They have a huge impact on us.
I’m a preschool teacher and don’t make as much as half of them. I’ve worked in childcare for over 13 years and have been promoted to curriculum/ office work along with running my pre-k class but still underpaid and make the same as some who have no experience and do way less. Trying to keep my head up but it can be hard at times. Love watching my students progress and grow though. ❤
Do you have a degree? Are you running a daycare that also educates children? That's different than a school teacher. Experience and efficiency will only take you so far in academia without a formal education.
I’m guessing you don’t have a education degree?
That is unacceptable!!😳🤦🏽♀️Transfer to a better school district or move to the tri-states!
Pre school teachers are paid very little and usually they’re job does not revise health insurance.

Paraeducator should make a lot more per year. They are teachers too
But maybe he doesn't work fill time. That's my best guess. 15k is far too low for full time
@@GorgieClarissa nope. I used to be a paraeducator. I taught k-3 and specialized in the Barton method for dyslexic children. I also taught ESL for k-5. I made 8.13 an hour and every year I got a 1% raise. So pennies. We were paid by grants from the government. It paid crap so I had to quit as much as I loved that job. I said it paid in smiles and hugs. Sometimes I was pulled to sub classes when they couldn't get a sub. Because I was a grant employee I didn't get paid sub wages on those days.

I felt so bad at the para-educator making 15 grand a year, felt it was too low, but 15,000 US dollars in my country is a lot, with that salary you're pretty much a high income earner
Edit: Yes I know, in the US 15 grand is small, but it really depends where you are because the cost of living in every state is different from the other. However, I do think that whatever the price of goods/services in the US are pretty much the same in my country. It's 1 dollar to 59 pesos. Inflation is high. That said, it's still unfair to get 15k annually for that kind of work. Sad.
a paraprofessional is different than a teacher, they have less qualifications I believe and they ultimately make way less no matter where you are. I feel like it’s more of a stepping stone than an actual career

@@KurtisB true but at my school I got pulled to sub classes. So some are teachers. Still make less than minimum wage.
As a former pre-school teacher, it saddens me that we still aren’t getting paid enough. You get it all, kids with disabilities, bad home lives, impoverished, etc. and because they are so young there is no way to “route” them unless the parents take the extra steps to enroll them in the programs they need. When I was teaching, there were a handful of my student’s who were on the spectrum and were tossed into environments that did not suit there unique needs and neurodivergence. Every-morning it was a battle that I fought until the day I quit.
Many pre-school programs exploit there workers and take advantage of the state teacher-student ratios. Many times it’s all about profit and figuring how many students can you stuff in one building to not exceed guidelines while also underpaying the workers. The days are longer as many facilities offer joint pre-k , daycare, and after school accommodations (6:00-7:00) and the turnover rates are ridiculous.
Every-time you turn on the news, a daycare is being exposed for child-neglect. But when you have people who open shop for the sole purpose of government subsidies and profit….these stories are bound to happen.
Showing A LOT of teachers with inordinately high salaries, largely because teachers in VA make more than some other states.
Im so grateful for the teachers I had-they taught me so much and did not get the pay nor respect they deserved!
Please make a nurse compilation!
The amount pf people so angry that teachers are actually making money is really funny
Exactly, how dare the people who pay their salaries for horrible results complain.
@johnjames502 no the horrible results come from poor parenting.
I'm a teacher and the salary is based on location (state and school district), type of school you teach in (private, public, or charter) how many years you've been teaching, education (graduate degrees get you more money) and sometimes what grade or subject you teach. You can also make more money doing summer school or taking on afterschool positions.
Teachers need to be paid more! They are teaching the future of this world and they make a big impact on our lives.
And they've been doing a horrible job
They need to stick to teaching which they are NOT doing to their full potential.
People are right, location is extremely important. A lot of those teachers that were interviewed, live in cities and expensive areas. Like in Connecticut you can make 50,000+ for being a teacher. Some states you make a lot, others you barely make anything. Most of the teachers where I live, don’t make anything and they barely scrape by. Our schools here are so poor, it’s ridiculous. It’s to the point where, sometimes they can’t even afford to pay the teachers. My high school actually closed down because of the financial struggles. The school not being able to pay the teachers. The teachers getting pissed off and taking it out on the children. Which would happen in public school too. In public school… We didn’t have a math teacher, because we couldn’t afford one. So all the teachers, had to teach different levels of math. Our teachers made so little, that they didn’t really give a shit about teaching. To the point where some of them, wouldn’t even teach. Our science teacher, just sat at his desk and taught once a year. He never graded anything, he just checked it off. Our labs? We’re us playing with blood pressure cuffs, to see who could handle the most pain. The longer you lasted, the higher your grade. Other teachers would take it out on us too, because they weren’t making enough. I remember we would even give them food for Christmas gifts, and they would be like. “I know you think it’s a joke but I need this. I’m really struggling. So thanks!” My social studies teacher, he could barely pay his rent and his wife was a teacher too. He did construction in the summertime and he taught night school. Just to make extra money, so he can get by.
Oh mannn, that sucks! What state do you live in?

Paras can basically make more working at McDonald's - no lie...
When I chose my major, I did a lot of research regarding prevailing wage, history of wages, demand, and anything else that would affect my life in that particular career. As much as I admire these educators, getting a degree in something you're compassionate about doesn't always pay. It's important to know this to avoid burn out.

I just quit finally being a paraprofessional. 5 years at the same company FT and take home pay was only $23,000, so the fact that he made $15,000, I would have quit. But a new hire told me after taxes she only made $900 a month in IL. So there’s a reason the turnover is high in these positions.

Good luck. Covid has delayed the vast majority of our kids. The ms math teacher I work with has a class where half of his students are on IEPs.

If you plan on switching and get a class like that, how do you plan on raising the skills of that child (and the other IEP students) while also teaching those at grade level algebraic equations?

@@BubblyViolin11 like I said I used to tutor math students. I think the thing is to get kids to understand the logic behind math. Most teachers are just content on teaching what their given in the textbooks but they're not teaching 'why'. That was my job to come in and tutor students in math and show them why and how once they get that down pat math gets easier. They have to understand that multiplication is a faster way of adding and that algebra is a faster way of multiplying. And the same goes for division and fractions. And if you can show them the beauty in math such as multiplication of nines where every answer will equal the number nine or the sum of nine they get it.
@@flamingpieherman9822 Tutoring isn’t the same as teaching. If you truly feel like you can make a difference, please join us. But I wouldn’t be so quick to judge all math teachers.

You have to factor in cost of living. Those making $100k and over all worked in areas close to Washington DC. That money doesn’t go very far in those areas since cost of living is so high. They also most likely have multiple degrees and if you listened carefully, they both had over a decade of experience. If you stay in the same district long enough (assuming they’re public school teachers), you’ll get to the top of the pay scale, but that takes years of experience and you can’t move districts.
@@user-ic1ii7ky8p That’s debatable. It really depends on the type of private school. Larger ones that charge $25k+ a year for tuition will pay their teachers better, but if you work in a well funded public district, you could easily make more money than private school teachers. My friend and I both worked at small private schools and we qualified for government subsidized housing on our salaries. Teachers at both of our schools transferred to public districts because it paid better, and we’re talking Los Angelas county, where teachers are notoriously underpaid.
