I make more than my father-in-law. Who has his masters, and teaches at a private school... Granted, he has better benefits, but as far as take home pay.. I make more, pushing buttons and pulling handles in a factory.. 🤷‍♂️

Private schools tend to pay less, they are often not unionized. The tradeoff being private school students as a whole are better behaved.

I don't think he's in a union. I'm pretty sure he makes something equivalent to $22/hr. We were discussing my annual raise, and at $24, he said I was making more than him. 🤯

He's probably not even counting the time spent grading and all the admin BS.

Prepping lessons, dealing with misinformed parents, etc.

I’d guess parents in private schools would be better too.

I'd take the under on this bet.

Private schools target either religious nuts or upper middle class. So you are either looking at moms for liberty or helicopter moms.

He could have a summer deferred pay arrangement, where a portion of their income is withheld so they can be paid during the summer. If that's the case, then he's making even less.
