<p>What is the average starting salery to your knowledge? after 5 years? after 10 years?</p>
<p>My math teacher makes 2,300 dollars per month and he has a BA with about 5 years of teaching experience. He also get some stipend for coaching baseballl...($3,000 a year)</p>
<p>But we are one of the better paying public school district around.</p>
<p>If I work in a private HS, will I make more? Perhaps 60k+?</p>
<p>Depends on the private high school. You'll make more in some places, less in others compared to public schools.</p>
<p>And starting salaries for teaching will be fairly low (compared to some other careers) no matter where you teach.</p>
<p>This is the AFT (American Federation of Teachers) website. You can click on a state and look at information about their pay.</p>
<p>Pay usually depends on a number of factors such district, education, experience and extra-duty contracts.</p>
<p>I know that Montegomery County in Maryland pays over $60,000, but I've heard that there cost of living is so high, it doesn't matter. From what my teachers have mentioned over the year, teaching is best as a supplement a spouse's income.</p>
<p>Cost of living in MoCo is high as crap. Housing costs have almost doubled in the past six years. Anyways, nobody decides to take up teaching for the money, and I know many teachers who live comfortably at least.</p>
<p>The teachers at my school make about 60,000 - 80,000.
I dont know why some of them complain. Salary all depends on the district and degree.</p>
<p>The problem with some private schools is that, while they pay more, they lack the benefits that public schools provide.</p>
