8D the Journal Times. Tuesday, Apr. 29, 1986 Racine, Wis. EUiost teachers say pay low, oppose 1 2-month job WASHINGTON (AP) Most teachers believe they are underpaid, but a large majority say they would rather work nine or 10 months than be paid higher salaries to, work year-round, according to a new survey. The survey also concluded that teachers "fare pretty well" when their salaries are compared with earnings of full-time, year-round workers, but that money is less important to teachers than it is to other American workers in judging job satisfaction.

The survey by Emily Feistritzer, director of the private National Center for Education Information, was based on a random nationwide sampling with responses from 1,144 public school teachers and 448 private school teachers. The survey was conducted between Feb. 7 and April 15. Unlike most working adults who rank a good salary and job security as the most important aspects of their jobs, teachers say the most important things for them are the opportunity to use their minds and the chance to work with young people, the survey showed. Teachers ranked salary fourth, behind appreciation of a job well done.

"The survey revealed that we really do have a teaching force that is dedicated to the development of young children," Feistritzer said in an interview. "It is significant that teachers aren't in it for the money, and even if they were, they are far ing very well in the market place." The average salary among public school teachers who were polled was 124,559 this year, which, based on an average 180-day contract, is about $136 per day. The Census Bureau says the average salary of a full-time, year-round worker with at least four years of college is $32,216, which based on 250 working days a year amounts to $129 per day, the study said. Salaries for female teachers, who make up 69 percent of the teaching force, tend to be higher than those of women with four years or more of college who are working full-time year-round. Male teachers, although generally paid more than their female colleagues, do not fare as well when compared with men of other professions with five years or more of college.

The study notes that teachers are more educated than the general working public. Four out of five public school teachers have completed five or more years of college. Dissatisfaction with salary was widespread among the teachers surveyed, with 88 percent of the women and 85 percent of the men saying they were underpaid. But the vast majority of teachers 84 percent in public schools and 88 percent in private schools said they preferred their nine-or 10-month contracts to a 12-month contract with more money. They preferred that even when offered the higher salaried option of teaching nine or 10 months and doing other professional activities for the; remaining months of the year.

I Asked what was most important on the; job, 63 percent of public school teachers cited "a chance to use mind and 62 percent cited "a chance to work with; young people," 54 percent said "appreciation for a job well done," and 51 percent; said "a good salary." "Our overwhelming conclusion was whereas American workers in general gave; top priority to money and job security in their work, teachers were a breed marching to a different Feistritzer said.
