21 years in Catholic education-$36,500.
We don't really get any other benefits, we even have to pay our kids' tuition. It seems that the parents always think we get free tuition but we don't.
I tried for many years to get a public school job but we just have such an overabundance of teachers here, that they always hire the ones straight out of college, it's cheaper that way. I even volunteered to start at the bottom of the salary rung, after being told for the third time that they wanted to hire me but couldn't because I was too expensive. Unfortunately, the public school teacher unions will not allow them to do that, so it didn't help. I have had fairly low class sizes & well-behaved kids. I guess that is my benefit.
