How much much money should some one be paid?

$100K minimum. Teaching is one of our most important professions, least compensated. Skewed sense of priorities in our culture for sure.

designed for special needs students?

sadly, this depends on WHERE more than what, ie what you do.

if you teach in Appalachia, then you could be paid less than 29k

if you teach in a rich affluent private school in the Northeast, then it could be 54k. so do some research.

Also, realize that in the poorer district you might not have the resources you would have in a private school in NY, but you would also have a bigger challenge in Appalachia also.

and not being certified will definitely ding you. get certified, b/c wi/o a license, even charter schools are balking now, b/c of No Child Left Behind.

Well i'm a certified teacher and have my BA in English Ed. I only make 34,000 a yr, isn't that crazy.

..underpaid employees...not only in your kind of field..there's lot of you out there...with all the efforts and yeet what?...but whooah..i believe that it's not all the money that counts...there's this more than money you could be compensated with whe you'll the fruit of your effort...the joy of accomplishment...

I saw at least $500,000 a year.
