>Readers debate Teacher “Cadillac ” health plans
I am teaching for 7 years now. I make just about 60K. They are taking more and more out of my paycheck each year. The pension and benefits I was promised when I went into the profession later in life are obviously not going to come to fruition.
My husband is out of a job and I have 2 kids in college. Think I am not hurting? Think again. Shame on you.
I care more about my students education on a daily basis than many of them do, and sadly, more than many of their parents do.
Could not agree more to the comment “welcome to reality” I have worked int he private sector all of my adult life and let me tell you I have paid and paid for my health and dental insurance over the years. I own a small home in the Lawns section of Ridgewood and pay high taxes, have family also ouyt of work, must pay for child’s education as well as all of my health benefits. I do not feel sorry for teachers at all – it is about time you pay your share – the rest of us do – greatly with paying your salaries. I also agree way too much importance put on the Ridgewood school system with their athletic programs. Get real – americans before it is too late!!
