TEACHERS GET PAID TOO MUCH! -----READ MORE THAN THE TITLE!!!!!! I'm fed up with teachers and their hefty salary schedules. What we need here is a little perspective. If I had my way, I'd pay these teachers myself. I'd pay them baby-sitting wages That's right -- instead of paying these outrageous taxes, I'd give them $3.00 an hour out of my own pocket. And I'm only going to pay them for five hours, not coffee breaks. That would be $15.00 a day -- each parent should pay $15.00 a day for these teachers to babysit their child. Even if they have more that one child, it's still a lot cheaper than private day care. Now how many children do they teach every day? Maybe twenty? That's $15.00 x 20 = $300 a day. But remember, they only work 180 days a year! I'm not going to pay them for all of those vacations. $300 x 180 = $54,000. (Just a minute, I think my calculator needs batteries.) I know you teachers will say "What about those who have ten year's experience and a Master's degree?" Well, to be fair, they could get the minimum wage, and instead of just baby-sitting, they could read the kids a story. We can round that off to about $5.00 an hour, times five hours, times 20 children. That's $500 a day times 180 days. That's $90,000. HUH?? Wait a minute, let's get a little perspective here. Baby-sitting wages are too good for these teachers. Did anyone see a salary schedule around here?
