Funny, I got paid only 9 months of the year. I could take my 9 months salary
spread out over 12 months if I wished, but even then if I took an
unauthorized day off, it was at the 9 month pay rate not the lower 12 month
pay rate.

Yes, most teachers get a couple of months off per year but how would you
like
it if your company said you must work 10 months a year, accept the lowest
pay
level of any college degree required job and not get paid for those two
months?
If you knew anything at all about the teaching profession, you would go
wash
your mouth out with soap.

Bob, They work 10 months and get paid for 12 months. All depends on how
u
look at it. Also there benefits, alteast here in wisconsin are very very
good
compared to alot of companies. Also where do u get that there the lowest
paid
of any college degree required job.
I know thats wrong as i started out as a reporter, you must have a
college
degree for the job and well teachers got paid more here in wisconsin for a
starting wage. Also nurses may or may not get more then a teacher to
start. I
do agree that good teachers should be paid more, but how to u figure out
what
teachers are good is the problem. I know several of the teachers i had in
highschool were bad teachers, but they had been teaching at the school for
over
30 years so they were maxed out the pay scale but they were overpaid.
sooo
what do we do...
