    I AM a teacher. I teach English as a foreign language and Computer Science (just CS right now). I have a gross income of slightly more than 60k a year (59k €). That’s about 3.850€ net a month after health insurance and taxes. I also have a not too shabby pension guaranteed as long as I don’t quit the job. That’s included in “my package”. Also I am tenured. I can only be fired for gross neglect or having an affair with a (minor) student, bribery or things of that nature.

    The “catch” (some say advantage): That’s in Germany, not in Retardistan.

      I know a teacher in Retardistan (Florida) with a master’s degree and over 30 years experience pulling down just over 40k gross.

      Different languages and all aside why use the r word as a teacher? It’s really not necessary.

      Also as a teacher from the states please don’t paint such broad strokes. You make it sound shameful to teach.

      Edit: to add to this, the subject of the article wasn’t actually a teacher but part of a council that advised the district school board and curriculum/instruction teams.
