Actually looking at the numbers the Average pay for a K-12 teacher in main is 44,000.

28K being the starter salary.

Whoever is getting paid 24 is getting hosed.

and that's without benefits.

 

 

Does that include private schools? pdf files crash my computer so I uninstalled the reader so I can't look. Private school teachers get paid a lot more. Parents who can afford to send their kids to a private school do. The town I work in, their school can't even afford paper for the students. In that town pretty much any of the kids who don't come from a poor family get sent to private schools.

Nope public schools only.

Maine is 44th in the country when it comes to teachers salaries though.

Still an average 44K with benefits isn't really that bad considering... i mean heck you get 3 months off and large swarths of your lesson plan can be reused year to year.
