As you have a trustworthy face i'll tell you.
I was offered a job with a good University that fell through last minute and resigned, they didn't hire me back straight away. I had an interview with another uni and I told them the terms of the Uni and they matched it. I told my school ... If you want me to stay I want more money, they said yes, it was the principals decision
Let's just say I can get an Uni job, I'm staying at my school because the principal has been good to me and I won't see my little English disciples go without a teacher, I spent 1 and 1/2 years at that place and I wont let my hard work go to waste.
Basically my school was a problem school and native Korean teacher had problems with student discipline, for the first 3 months I was nice, then I enforced something called 'iron fisted rule' this means if a students doesn't finish all the work this is 'insubordination' and the whole class is severely punished. Now the students bow and are nice as pie... in 1 year the school went from worst school to top 5 school, because they have to learn or there will be consequences. I always dress smart wear a tie and am invisible to the administration office. Let's just say I know how to play the game. in the hierarchy, the chief is number one, the older woman 2, me 3 and then the 2 co teachers 4-5.
I made demands hoping they would say "we can't do that", because I want to leave for another job, but they keep bending over backwards to do everything they can for me.
Like I said.... every PS job is different.

2.3 X 13 = 29.9 regular salary.
.4 x 12 = 4.8 accommodation I keep.
3 mil extra classes.
2 mil they found to keep me from another budget.
2 mil resigning.
=41.7 / 12 = 3.47 average.
But like has been said before, PS is a lottery. I am very lucky.

It's possible to make 3.25 at a public school after only being there 1.5 years.

If you find a school that offers a lot of OT. With the budgets tightening, those jobs are getting harder to find.
While 3.25 is great. It's also a bit misleading because you're not pulling that down consistently every month, right? I'm not saying you're lying or bragging. I'm just saying it's not as simple as 3.25, unless you factored in a few things to your average. Such as: you might make that much during the regular semester. You probably aren't getting that during winter and summer vacation (which totals about 25% of the year). Plus a lot of those OT classes get canceled during the semester (exams, field trips, etc...) So you don't collect on those days either (usually, unless you have the rare school that pays out on OT that didn't take place). So although in the perfect month you might make 3.25, you are not making that every month. In fact, your monthly average is probably more around 2.8-3.0. |

I see where you came up with your number now, I was thinking more along the terms of regular salary. When you said 3.25 originally, I didn't think you were including severance, housing allowance and renewal bonuses as part of your "salary".
What is this extra 2.0 to keep you bonus? I'd like to hear how you got that! Do tell!  |
