This thread is really interesting to me. I live OOT and work in a school. Rebbeim working at the school from 1-6 years are making a range between 35-45k. This is a 10 months position, hours 8-1 mon-fri and 9-1 on Sundays. They do not pay tuition. More tenured rebbeim who have been with the school for longer are making more. There is a 2% raise each year.

I'm curious if the salaries you are posting include any benefits like free or discounted tuition?

Just a note that most rebbeim feel underpaid and the other locals schools are paying maybe 50-60k but I do not think it includes such a major tuition benefit.

Right- add in 3 boys tuitions in an OOT school and it’s closer to 90k for 9-1 job where they can technically have another job in the afternoon.

I heard firsthand from a principal of a girl's school; someone asked her what's the average salary of a teacher. She answered that the range is very broad, she has experienced teachers who are working for years and are getting paid less than new assistant teachers. It all depends on the person applying for the job, how big their expectations are. Principals always ask new applicant: How much do you want?

If teachers came in years ago, they are likely getting a slight 1 or 2% raise each year unless they specifically ask for a raise. New teachers may have higher expectations coming from the current job market and may ask for more knowing their value...

He is underpaid. It's not a fair system but if he wants to be paid more, he'll have to ask for it and may even have to play hard to get a little bit.

That shouldn't make her feel better- that should light a fire under your husband to evaluate if he is being undercut.

I.agree
He is very underpaid
But he absolutely loves his job and they value and appreciate him
I wonder if him switching jobs or begging for a raise then getting a no will change things
I don't know,but bh my husband happy so I don't want to rock that boat
