Ever wonder what our job would look like if teaching salaries reflected the hours, and energy we put in? Imagine what we could do with the resources and recognition we deserve. Do you feel you are underpaid or not?

I make a good salary. A long time ago, my husband told me to stop making the job more than it is. At the time I was deeply offended, but over the years, I have found that he was right. I have learned to teach to the best of my ability during my working hours, use the district-provided resources efficiently and effectively, and let the rest go. I work hard. I care. But I have learned to let parents parent, make things work with what I have available, and to stay off of sites that promote teachers as always doing more, more, more for the kids. Life balance has become important to me. I feel well compensated for what I do and that I do a good job. I am always learning and trying to improve my practice, but not by stressing myself out or spending all my time and money on it.

Wow. What a great reply! I had a salaried job in healthcare. I learned this same lesson except I learned it by burning out

I feel like I'm underpaid but thankfully I have had some very appreciative parents which makes it a little better.

I agree that appreciative families make work easier. Last valentine’s day I was flooded with candies and chocolate covered strawberries. I really felt the love

I was imagining at the end of school last week, what if we had an additional 2 paid weeks after the kids left to complete grades without anxiety and late hours, clean up my room and start prepping for next year. It was a random thought, but I realized how marvelous, and how helpful that would be. I would be so much more relaxed over the summer knowing I had made preparations for the fall, so much more prepared and happy and relaxed.
Never going to happen though.

That is seriously a great idea. Even having one paid week without the kids would make a world of difference
