Things have changed drastically. I am assuming your daughter wants to teach elementary or a humanity. Otherwise Marh 30-2 is closing a lot of doors. As far as an easy job, if is truly that way why do we have one of the highest attrition rates within the first five years? The benefits ain’t what they once were, they are a joke compared to most private packages now, the salary has been stagnant for a decade and the work is becoming increasingly complex.
You know from our previous conversations I. The topic I will stand by you with distaste for the union as their only goal is self preservation and profit off the backs of teachers, especially dead ones. However, the career is daunting, and complex and with today’s salaries she may only teach for 3:4 of the year but she will be working for that summer to make any financial headway in life. As a lifelong educator I will steer my kids away from the career at all costs, at least in Canada and especially in Alberta.
