Teachers are paid too much!
----------------
I'm fed up with teachers and their hefty salary guides! What we need is a little perspective.
If I had my way, I'd pay these teachers myself I'd pay them babysitting wages. That's right instead of paying these outrageous taxes, I'd give them $3.00 an hour out of my own pocket. And I'm only going to pay them for 5 hours, not coffee breaks. That would be $15.00 a day -- each parent should pay $15.00 a day for these teachers to babysit a child. (Even if you have more than one child, it's still a lot cheaper than private day care.)
Now, how many children do they teach every day maybe twenty? That's $15.00 X 20 = $300 a day. But remember they only work 180 days a year! I'm not going to pay them for all those vacations! That's $300 X 180 =$54,000. (Just a minute that can't be right; let me check my calculator.)
I know what you teachers will say What about those who have ten years experience and a Master's degree? Well, maybe (to be fair) they could get the minimum wage instead of just babysitting, they could read the kids a story.
We can round that off to about $5.00 an hour, times five hours, times twenty children. That's $500 a day times 180 days. That's $90,000 ..... HUH??
Wait a minute; let's get a little perspective here! Babysitting wages are too good for these teachers. Does anyone see a salary guide around here?
