<p>Mini…I teach on the North Shore of Long Island (Great Neck) and I can assure you that there are no school districts that pay $125K a year to a step 1 teacher without a masters. Perhaps she was speaking about some of her experienced colleagues who have reached the top pay scale (20 years + experience, PHD or masters plus 30 credits.)</p>
<p>If a starting teacher gets $125K…are you implying that experienced teachers are at the $200K mark? It’s just not true.</p>
