Just wanted to clear up a little misinformation here about Massachusetts starting teacher salaries- $50,000 I wish. For most cities and towns, it's in the $36,000-$39,000 range (Boston is a few thousand more). In my city, we get step raises until year 12 and longevity increments at 15, 20, 25, and 30 years. Our salaries go up about $3000 with a Masters.

To my teaching colleagues in Nevada... I'm there with you. I spend about $100 a month on my classroom also, plus more for Master's Degree classes and professional journals. We're now required to get a Master's within the first 5 years of teaching - I'll be paying that off forever!.
