I teach public school.How come CalSTRS says I need to work 38 years full pension, but conservatives say 20 yrs?
I teach fifth grade for the Los Angeles Unified School DIstrict.
Our pension plan is under the California State Retirement System. CalSTRS.
They have a retirement calculator. You just punch in the numbers, you find out what your retirement will be.
According to CalSTRS, I will need to work for 38 years and retire at age 64 in order to get a full pension.
I think I have heard several dozen times from conservatives here that all teachers can retire at age 55 after 20 years of teaching with a full pension.
Why do they tell lies like that?

Well, then tell me why teachers in Los Angeles retire at age 63,64, 65, and 66, if ACCORDING TO YOU, they could retire at age 55?

Do all teachers have the same contract?
Oh boo-fuckin-hoo, you have to work the same amount of time as the rest of the US workforce. you are so abused. As far as I am concerned most teachers are a waste of tax payer money anyway
Wow, Newell, it’s a sad day when Caribou Quit Barbie turns on you.
Still packing your popgun to class?
Teachers are the liars here.
Why do teacher lie about only getting 2 months off?
180 school days = 36 weeks, only 8 months of work.
Why do they lie about the length of their day?
In NJ these slugs need only a 2.75 GPA (it finally got raised, teachers fought to keep it at 2.5) and they have to score 51% on a ninth grade level test to be certified. No wonder so many aren’t very bright.
Because there aren’t enough people on here to point out their lies.
In my husbands union its thirty and out.
And you can’t collect until you are sixty.
