Report

Before education, I spent 20+ years in retail management.
Education is the only job I know where longevity is rewarded.
In most jobs outside of education, you get paid for
performance. Just because I have 17+ years in education, it
does not mean I am a better educator than one with 5 years. I
just managed to survive the system for al long time. I know
many long time administrators and teachers who deserve more
money and whole lot more who need to go home instead of getting
a raise! Be glad you get a raise each year no matter how
small.
