A first year teacher on an emergency cert is making 50,066 a year or less, fwiw, which is a lot less in Philly than it used to be. I am in my 12th year, Master's, quadruple certified and have national board certification and won't break 80k for a while yet.

ETA: I can also totally imagine a teacher joking "I accept gift cards" when a kid does the "I haven't done any work or come to class in 9 weeks but I need an A!" dance, and a kid thinking they just found a way to get the teacher fired.

I just earned NBCT, so that will help. I have been waiting on the credit farms kind of stuff because I'm weighing going back for an actual SPED cert, since I value teaching in neighborhood high schools and we just keep inching closer and closer to majority-IEP kiddos there as they get pushed out of special admits.
