Ok Dave. You think we make too much money ?? Do you think we are not worth what we do make? Here's a thought for you. We only work 9 months a year...have summers.weekends and holidays off. Let's say that the public would like to see us get paid $3.00 an hour. I would actually prefer this !
Why? $3.00 an hour for 6 1/2 hours equals $19.50 a day. The school department wants to increase the class size to 30. So, each parent should pay $19.50 a day. That makes $585.00 per day. However, we only work 180 days.
That's $585 x180=$105,300.
There are many teachers who have furthered their education. We worked hard to obtain Master Degrees, National Board certification and take classes that are not reimbursed by the school department.
Perhaps paying them minimum wage or less would suffice. Let's say $8.00.
$8 x 6 1/2 hours x 30 children x 180 days = $280,800.
The average beginning teacher's salary 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 babysitter....don't you think?. In addition, we are educating your child. However, I don't expect you or anyone else to understand what we do and what we are fighting for. I'm not going to try to argue my point because people who have your same view point will never get it. It truly amazes me just how ignorant people are.
