Ever considered teaching for DCPS? Obviously some major drawbacks but the pay is better.

No. Where I am, I make slightly more than I would in dcps and I would lose my pension. Also, I’ve got friends who teach dcps and they don’t recommend the switch.

Interesting. 10k more in 7 years is not a lot…!
Good luck and thank you for what you do.

Looked it up, I’d make even less in dc than suburb. Yeah, 10k in 7 years is pretty lame.

DCPS teachers make more than anyone in surrounding counties… or at least that’s what Mendelson said the other night…

Depends on what level. Starting pay vs longevity vs education vs certification. For me, it would be 5k less.
