I'm fed up with teachers and their hefty salaries. 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 outraqgeous 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 baby-sit their child. Even if they 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 20? 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 of those vacations! That's $300 x 180 = $54,000. (Just a minute. That can't be right: I think my calculator needs batteries) I know what all 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, and instead of just baby-sitting, they could read the kids a story. We can round that off to about $5.00 and times five hours, times twenty children. That's $500 a day times 180 days. That's $90,000...HUH?!? Wages are too good for these teachers. Did anyone see a salary guide around here?
