    ok, I have been holding off telling you all my salary, because quite frankly
    I didn't want to kill you all...but here it goes. I have 2 certificates, 1
    masters + 30 credits, have taugh 24 years, and make $80,000 as a base salary
    with the big whoop of an additional $3,000 stipend to to the yearbook. oh
    and it's a public school, too. I work from 7:15 am until 7:00 at night, and
    with deadlines, until 11:00 at night, no weekends. And like all of you, I
    am not in it for the money, but over the years, our union has been very
    tough in the negotiation room....beginners' start at $35,000, and since the
    faculty is mostly Baby Boomers, our Board of Education is salivating at the
    opportunity to hire new teachers as we retire. I remember when I first
    started I made $8,000 a year. The key for us has been that we let the "men"
    negotiate for us, as they were the ones who had to work 3 jobs to support
    their families early on, and we definitely NOT amused by that. We found
    that when we had 'women' in the negotiating room, they compromised a lot
    sooner, while the "men" took no prisoners! I know it sounds sexist, but that
    has been our union history and it worked!
