Food for thought....

Teachers' hefty salaries are driving up taxes, and they only work 9 or 10 months a year!
It's time we put things in perspective and pay them for what they do...babysit!
We can get that for about minimum wage.
Let's give them $3.00 an hour and only the hours they worked; not any of that silly planning time or any time they spend before or after school.
That would be $19.50 a day, 7:45 to 3:00 with 4..... okay 5 min. off for lunch and planning.
That equals 6 1/2 hours.
Each parent should pay $19.50 a day for teachers to babysit their children.
About 30 students a day?
So, that's $19.50 x 30 = $585.00 a day.
However, remember they only work 180 days a year! They won't be paid for any vacations. That's $585 X 180 = $105,300 per year.
What about special education teachers and the ones with Masters degrees? We could pay them $7.75, and just to be fair, round it off to $8.00 an hour.
That would be $8 X 6 1/2 hours X 30 children X 180 days = $280,800 per year.
However, the average teacher's salary (nationwide) is $50,000.
$50,000/180 days = $277.77/per day/30 students = $9.25/6.5 hours = $1.42 per hour per student, a very inexpensive babysitter, and they EDUCATE your kids!!
WHAT A DEAL!!

couldn't have said it better myself... they should work out our salaries based on their ignorance in calling us babysitters haha xx
Love these posts :) Sad, but true. Teachers deserve a lot more respect than they are given!
Agreed! The #1 thing people say when they hear I'm going into elementary education is, "BUT YOU WON'T MAKE ANY MONEY!!!"
Great way to put it in perspective! Just found your blog and living it so far :)
