that is exactly what i am saying...the science teacher who was there for a couple years before i got there was being paid less than me - and when she found out how much i was being paid she QUIT.
thus brought up the conversation of pay.
i was one of 2 teachers who passed the basic skills test, and i taught an extra class so i negotiated a higher wage.
the veteran teacher made just under 30k a year...and he was highest paid.
