Trying to get to know the community a bit more.

If you want to share figures (you don't have to) you might probably want to use a throwaway account, better safe than sorry.

No. I am an elementary / special education teacher.

My salary is not even a near-decent compensation for the effort I have make every day to keep the most disturbed kids in line. Or the physical abuse I have to put up with, constantly.

I've been punched, kicked, bitten, spat on, had chairs thrown at me and stabbed with pencils and scissors so many times.

But since we teachers have "a really long summer vacation, how the fuck do you dare to complain about your shitty pay?"

Yet I try to fight the good fight and force myself to the school every day, since somebody' has to try to fix those kids before they're truly beyond saving.

Sorry to hear that. People in education has very bad pays in most of the world, and that's a sad situation.

One interesting exception: Luxembourg. Teachers in Luxembourg are paid more than people in IT
