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.

Sounds like hypocrisy to me.

Most people aren't getting ahead at all these days.
Well, I'll say that the CEO's are getting ahead.

I agree with you in some respects, but those guys your DH works with are obviously from the southern half of the state - and yes, they make much more money than we do up here.
Yes, I understand your position.
Here's how we can give teachers a raise:
We can take all that extra taxpayer money and divide it equally among the teachers that are still hanging around.
