To all you teachers! I got this through one of my teacher friends... enjoy :)
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, 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 plan -- that
equals 6 1/2 hours). Each parent should
pay $19.50 a day for these teachers to baby-sit 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 15 children X 180 days
= $140,400
per year. Wait a minute -- there's something wrong here!
There sure is!
The average teacher's salary (nation wide) is $50,000. $50,000/180 days =$277.77/per
day/30 students=$9.25/6.5 hours = $1.42
per hour per student--a very inexpensive
baby-sitter and they even EDUCATE your kids!
WHAT A DEAL!!!!
Make a teacher smile; send this to someone who appreciates teachers... :)
