I think this says it all .....
AREN'T YOU ALL SICK OF THOSE HIGH PAID TEACHERS??
Their hefty salaries are driving up taxes, and they only work
nine or ten 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 is right. I would
give them $3.00 dollars an hour and only the hours they
worked, not any of that silly planning time. That would be
$19.50 a day (7:45 AM to 4:00 PM with 45 min. 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
day... maybe 30? So that's 19.5 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 must need
batteries!) What about those special teachers and the ones
with master's degrees? Well, we could pay them minimum wage
just to be fair, round it off to $7.00 an hour. That would be
$7 times 6-1/2 hours times 30 children times 180 days =
$245,700.00 per year. Wait a minute, there is something wrong
here!
There sure is, duh!
Make a teacher smile; send this to someone who appreciates
teachers & to those teachers who love teaching!
(Average teacher salary $50,000/180 days = $277per
day/30 students = $9.23/6.5 hours = $1.42 per hour per
student.) Very inexpensive babysitter and they even educate
your kids!

...and the other day a group of us we were told by what seems an authorative
source about 4 maths/physics teachers attracted to WA from Vic who took up
positions in Port Headland, only to take up work as cleaners in the local
mine for over $100000pa.!
