The main unsolved question about the atmosphere of Venus is precisely the reason why it super-rotates much faster than the solid planet, Garate-Lopez said. The relationship between the oddly moving atmosphere and the vortices also remains a mystery. The cyclone sits 26 miles (42 km) above the surface of the planet. No rain falls from the towering storm, because the planet's atmosphere evaporates all particles within 22 miles (35 km) of the ground.
Teachers generally accept lower base salaries in exchange for future pension benefits, and the plans are funded in part through contributions that are considered part of their pay packages. Such plans are expensive: roughly 1 in 10 dollars spent on education nationwide goes toward teacher retirement benefits. Pension contributions amount to 17 percent of a teacherâs salary, on average, or more than $1,100 per student nationwide (see Figure 1). Those amounts have grown sharply in recent years to historic highs, and contributions to teacher pensions are higher than in any other profession. These types of pension plans do offer teachers some advantages.
One year after retirement, roughly 10 percent of teachers were employed in a Missouri public school, split evenly between full-and part-time status (4.8 percent each). This is the most comparable statistic to the one year TFS.raditional benefit (DB) pension systems provide teachers with a large annuity value on retirement. The accrual of this annuity value occurs over the teacherâs entire work life; however, the rate of accrual is highly nonlinear and back-loaded with most of the gain occurring in the final years prior to retirement.
