Teacher Salaries

"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 minutes 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.

LET'S SEE...
That's $585.00 x 180 = $105,300 per year.

What about those special teachers and the ones with master's degrees?

Well, we could pay them minimum wage, and just to be fair, round it off to $7.00 an hour. That would be $7.00 x 6 1/2 x 30 children x 180 days = $245,700 per year.

Wait a minute -- there's something wrong here!

Average teacher salary $50,000/180 days = $277/per day/30 students = $9.23/6.5 hours = $1.42 per hour per student. A very inexpensive baby-sitter and they even try - with your help - to EDUCATE your kids!

WHAT A DEAL...

And the parents don't even have to buy us pizza!
