Can you give more details? What school district, link to union payscale. Sounds like another Urban tale. NO teacher 6 years in makes 75K
Plus it is tough to compete with dollar a day employees. An indian programmer earns like 6K a year. Why would a company want to hire americans when you can offshore to india for programming jobs.
Indeed! I did not study my ass off in college and grad school only to find out a simple teacher can make almost as much money as I do!

You might not know, but most of those Indian programmers have no idea what they are doing. Many companies have to recode the work they outsource to India. Software development is quite hard, hence why you need very competent people doing it; it's not like flipping burgers.
Couple people I know are elementary school teachers in NYC. They are in their thirties. They make a bit more than $100K.
