RIUTG, not calling you a liar, just find that extremely hard to believe since I started teaching 9 years ago and hired in at 30k. The starting pay at Middlesboro is roughly 32k now, and thats with strictly a BA. That doesn't seem like a great deal of money, but a teacher works 180 days a year, 180 days at 8 hours a day is 1,440 hours, divide that by 32k and its 22$/hr. What other job can you have all summer off, every holiday, and snow days, and make 22$/hr? It's not that bad of a deal honestly.

Oh, no doubt. I'm not taking it personally, just wanted to make it clear of the RIDICOLOUS over she received.
That questionable thing rhius particular district does is allow there principals to make offers which happened in her case. I'm not sure if that's the norm or not
