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.

I think if I am not mistaken that Gym classes are out in some schools.... but yeah when I was in school there was Home Ec - sewing machines, cooking classes.. then there's Shop classes. All of that isn't really all that necessary but it's nice to have around. - Same as Art class.

LOL, and our children will be even WORSE off, because they will no longer be getting a well-rounded education.
No, I didn't know that... very interesting.
