Teacher Pay

I know I am ready for this as a teacher!!!! :-)

ARE YOU SICK OF ALL OF THOSE HIGHLY PAID TEACHERS?

"I, for one, am sick and tired of those high paid teachers. Their hefty
salaries are driving up taxes and they only work nine or ten months a
year!

It's time we put things in perspective and pay them for what they
do...baby-sit! We can get that for less than minimum wage. That's
right...I would give them $3.00 dollars an hour and only the hours they
worked, not any of that silly planning time. That would be 15 dollars a
day. Each parent should pay 15 dollars a day for these teachers to
baby-sit their children.

Now, how many do they teach in a day...maybe 25. Then that's 15 x 25=
$375 a day. But remember they only work 180 days a year! I'm not going
to pay them for any vacations. Let's see...that's 375 x 180=$67,500.00
(Hold on, my calculator must need batteries!) What about those special
teachers or ones with master's degrees? Well, we could pay them minimum
wage just to be fair. Let's round it off to $6.00 an hour. That would
be $6 times 5 hours times 25 children times 180 days = $135,000.00 per
year. Wait a minute, there is something wrong here!!! (There sure is!)

Make a teacher smile :) Share this with them.
