So will they revert back to all of his school work and determine what his grades should have been? Or just make him take a bunch of exams to see if he qualifies..?

I think the transcript is bogus, not that grades were changed in the system. So the NEW official transcript will send him to JUCO.

My mother has been a GC for ten years, and she makes $60k/year. That's definitely not a beanie-weanies salary especially if there's a spouse in the home that works.
No she doesn't. At least, not if she's working in the state of Alabama or Tennessee. In the state of Alabama, you have to be working for 24 years and have a Ph.D. before you hit the $60K mark. Tennessee teachers/counselors make less than those in Alabama, btw.
This is the salary schedule for certified teachers/counselors with a Master's degree and up to 11 years experience in the state of Alabama.

Exactly, and that's assuming they have a Master's degree. If they've only got a 4 year degree, they're getting paid much less than that.

I am pretty sure that the state just sets minimum schedules. I would imagine that a counselor in say Vestavia would make a good bit more than that.

Here is Tennessee's salary schedule for 0-10 years experience. As you can see, the difference in pay is substantial. Teachers and counselors in Tennessee get paid next to nothing for the work that they do.

The state sets a minimum, and most districts pay the minimum - with very few exceptions. Vestavia may pay more than the state minimum, but it wouldn't be a substantial amount more. I posted the Tennessee state salary schedule - to get an idea of what Yvette was making.

That is unreal. Why in the hell would anyone go to school to be a teacher?

Here is Vestavia's salary schedule for reference - assuming a master's degree:
So, they make a little less than $4,000 more than the state minimum - with 10 years experience.

Interesting. I would have thought it would be a bigger difference.

Starting out at $43000 for 187 days of work. I know lots of college graduates who do not come close to this. If you add in the health insurance and only working 187 days I don't see what the problem is.

Who and where can this be done? The graphic above is for a Master's degree... in one of the wealthiest school zones in the state.

Only reason I care anything about this topic is because my wife is a teacher in Tuscaloosa County. She brings home (after taxes) less than $30,000 a year. Her base pay before taxes is $36,000 ish.

You should have a son who plays ball then the university could move your whole family to Vestavia hills and get your wife a job there.
