I currently teach 6th through 8th Language Arts. I have a Masters, 9 years teaching experience in Catholic schools, and 20 in various colleges and graduate schools.
I make 31,500. I took a $8,000 pay cut when the previous Catholic school closed.
It is wrong that we are paid this little. It is unjust. It does NOT reflect Catholic social justice that I teach my pupils.
The biggest problem is the system is set up for nuns as teachers. We are not nuns, but that hasn't been realized yet.
