Just some food for thought..

TEACHERS GET PAID TOO MUCH

I'm fed up with teachers and their hefty salary guides. What we need
here 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 out-rageous taxes, I'd give them
$3.00 an hour out of my own pocket. And, I'm only going to pay them for
five hours, not coffee breaks. That would be $15.00 a day. Each parent
should pay $15.00 a day for these teachers to babysit their children.
Even if they have more than one child, it's still cheaper than private
daycare.

Now how many children do they teach a day - maybe twenty? That's
$15.00 X 20 = $300.00 a day.But remember, they only work 180 days a
year!I'm not going to pay them for all those vacations. $300 X 180
=$54,000. (Just a minute, I think my calculator needs batteries.)
I know you teachers will say what about those who have ten years of
experience and a master's degree? Well, maybe (just to be fair) they
could get the minimum wage, and instead of just babysitting, they could
read the kids a story. We can round that off to about $5.00 an hour,
times five hours, times twenty children.

$5.00 X 5 X 20.That's $500 a day times 180 days. That's $90,000.
HUH???? Wait a minute. Let's get a little perspective here.

Babysitting wages are too good for those teachers. Did anyone see a
salary guide around here???!
