"Teacher's Pay" joke
Teachers are paid too much!! I'm fed up with teachers and their hefty salaries for only 9 months work! What we need here is a little perspective. If I had my way, I'd pay teachers babysitting wages.
That's right... instead of paying these outrageous taxes, I'd give them $3. 00 an hour. And, I'm only going to pay them for 5 hours, not planning time. That would be $15. 00 a day. Each parent should pay $15. 00 a day for these teachers to baby sit their children. Even if they have more than one child, it's still cheaper than private daycare.
Now how many children do they teach a day--maybe 20? That's $15. 00 x 20 = 300. 00 a day. But remember, they only work 180 days a year! I'm not going to pay them for all the vacations: $300. 00 x 180 =$54, 000. (Just a minute my calculator must need batteries.)
What will teachers say about those who have 10 years of experience and a master's degree? Well, maybe (just to be fair) they could get the minimum wage. We can round that off to about $6. 00 an hour, times 5 hours, times 20 children. $6. 00 x 5 x 20. That's $600 a day times 180 days. That's only $108, 000.
Wait a minute... there is something wrong here...
