There are 75,000 public school teachers in NYC.That's US colleges. Public schools have everyone on the same payscale.

There are 75,000 public school teachers in NYC.There are 75,000 public school teachers in NYC. You can see the pay-scale here:
Teacher salary schedule (2022–27)
Teacher salary schedule (2022–27)
United Federation of Teachers (www.uft.org)
It tops out at 150k But those are people with decades of experience. The average is half that at 75k meaning half make less about half make more than that.
UPDATE: all the people at this levels are admin so it doesn't count. I was so excited that someone hacked the payscale so good
Anyone want to be mad about it?
(I just realized this includes NYS so it's not NYC even.)

This is such a cool study.How will she drill the acorn? HOW?

On thing that drives me nuts about interior design advice is it doesn't start from the non-negotiables often enough.When we got married it was fun finding the books we had two of. There were a lot. We put a book plate in them and gave them as wedding favors.

The distinctively-patterned Caribbean Banded Carpenter Ant, Camponotus zonatus.@alexwild
I looked up the species and they *do* have majors with the typical wide heads, but this worker who is a median or a minor has a rather long head that reminds me of Camponotus mirabilis— -
@dasgrueneblattYou might be better off putting a floor to ceiling shelf behind the couch, then use the blocked shelves for hidden storage of rarely used items.
To anchor a floating shelf, strong enough for books it will need to be attached to the joists in your wall even then it can introduce a lot of strain.

None of the kitchens in the "small kitchens design ideas" are as small as my kitchen.Blue is rare but not unheard of so no?

On thing that drives me nuts about interior design advice is it doesn't start from the non-negotiables often enough.I'm envious of people who have shelves and don't know how to fill them. I'm over here planning to put extra shelving above the door.

On thing that drives me nuts about interior design advice is it doesn't start from the non-negotiables often enough.Math books are my most colorful books and each subject has a full spectrum of colors.
But my books on ants are all either white green or black for some reason.

On thing that drives me nuts about interior design advice is it doesn't start from the non-negotiables often enough.That's not a method to store books you use. It's decorative.
If I put my books that way all of my husband's books would look WORSE since there are so many post-it notes and tabs sticking out. And any book I've taken to school (most of them) have my last name written on the spine in big black letters if it's a textbook so no one would take it.
I don't want to see that.

On thing that drives me nuts about interior design advice is it doesn't start from the non-negotiables often enough.They need to be. Books are heavy and it might sound romantic to die being crushed by your book collection but it is NOT cute.

On thing that drives me nuts about interior design advice is it doesn't start from the non-negotiables often enough.I don't know if I agree that interior design isn't for everyone. Some of the best most inviting spaces have been designed and curated by people with no budget. It's like art, it's for everyone and money can't really make up for taste and creativity.
It's also WORK and takes time to make a space better, more functional, good looking, someone needs to care about it.

On thing that drives me nuts about interior design advice is it doesn't start from the non-negotiables often enough.Do you mean the stack-able ones? I've found that with the book collection I have I really just need very tall shelves, and the cubes can't stack high enough. But there are also some cube systems that can go higher I think.

On thing that drives me nuts about interior design advice is it doesn't start from the non-negotiables often enough.You need twice as many bookshelves. I made a "book wall" to divide my living room since we ran out of walls. You might need to do that.

On thing that drives me nuts about interior design advice is it doesn't start from the non-negotiables often enough.I love this!
It's just a little moment of joy when normally seeing a bunch of coats and ski gear in a pile would make me sad.

On thing that drives me nuts about interior design advice is it doesn't start from the non-negotiables often enough.Most closet shelves are not sturdy enough to hold books. I have considered the concept of having a "book closet" then I could put most of the books in there and close the door for a more minimalist feeling.
But I like to look at the shelf and scan the titles while I'm working. I would end up sitting in the damn closet so it wouldn't work.

On thing that drives me nuts about interior design advice is it doesn't start from the non-negotiables often enough.At least for me the color sorting makes it easier to find the book I'm looking for. I know some people will do a subject shelf sorted by author, or alphabetically, or subtopic... But, if I'm looking at "discrete math books" I won't remember the title. I remember "it was in the light blue one" -- so color helps.
From across the room it looks less jumbled. You also notice how different subjects have different color pallets. Which is neat.
Also, alpha sorting will NOT stay sorted. Color will.
