"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 - babysit! We can get that
for minimum wage. That's right. Let's give them $3.00 an hour and only the dhours
they worked; not any of that silly planning time, or any time they spend before
or after school. That would be............ $19.50 a ...day (7:45 to 3:00
PM with 45 min. off for lunch and planning - that equals 6 1/2 hours)! Each
parent should pay $19.50 a day for these teachers to babysit their children.
Now how many students do they teach in a day... maybe 30? So that's $19.50 x 30
= $585.00 a day. However, remember they only work 180 days a year!!! I am not
going to pay them for any vacations. LET'S SEE.... That's $585 X 180= $105,300
per year. (Hold on! My calculator needs new batteries). What about those
special education teachers and the ones with Master's degrees? Well, we could
pay them minimum wage ($7.75), and just to be fair, round it off to $8.00 an
hour. That would be $8 X 6 1/2 hours X 30 children X 180 days = $280,800 per
year. Wait a minute -- there's something wrong here! There sure is! The average
teacher's salary (nationwide) is $50,000. $50,000/180 days = $277.77 per day/30
students = $9.25 per 6.5 hours = $1.42 per hour per student -- a very
inexpensive babysitter and they even EDUCATE your kids! WHAT A DEAL!!!! Make a
teacher smile; re-post this to show appreciation for all educators and future
educators."
