Teacher's Salary
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…baby-sit!
We can get that for less than minimum wage. That's right. Let's give them $3.00 an hour and only the hours they worked, not any of that silly planning time.
That would be $19.50 a day (7:00 AM to 3:30 (or so) PM with just 25 min. off for lunch).
Each parent should pay $19.50 a day for these teachers to baby-sit their children.
NOW...
How many do they teach in a class, 30? So that's $19.50 x 30 = $585.00 a day. However, remember they only work 180 days a year!!! We're not going to pay them for any vacations.

Kind of puts things in perspective, doesn't it?
I disagree with you, but I'm pretty sure
Ah, teacher bashing -- that time-honored tradition.
>>Sorry I'm not amused by this at all.<<
OK.
>>It is propaganda made up by the teachers unions<<
Which part of this isn't true?

How about you go first and answer:

You don't feel that one's pay is linked to the value that society puts upon a job?
I agree with those who feel that teachers are underpaid.

Just a note - where can I find one of those $3 an hour sitters? Teens start at $8 an hour here. ;-)
I posted this for entertainment and did not claim it was true.
Dang Rose...I can't believe it!
>>>A kid has time to waste, and should waste a big part of it just being a kid.
I could not agree more!
Don't let it frighten you, even a stopped watch is right twice a day (sorry, I really did put that just for fun -- it is a tuism of these boards that eventually you will agree with everyone).....

~It is propaganda made up by the teachers unions.~
No, it's a joke made up by a writer at The Yellow Press.
