Joe Willie On The Shrimpbox: "Highly Paid Teachers"

"Highly Paid Teachers"

Aren't You All Sick Of Those Highly 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!

(Average teacher salary $50,000/180 days = $277
per day/30 students = $9.23/6.5 hours = $1.42 per
hour per student.) Very inexpensive babysitter and
they even educate your kids! Crazy!
