In article , ET wrote: My wife is a teacher, and while I would love for her to earn more, if you take her salary and divide it by number of days worked, she does very well indeed. To compare teacher salaries per year to other occupations leaves out the summers, holidays, etc.... ...how many hours week does she work? How much time does she put in in the evenings and weekends doing teacher work? Don't forget to factor that into your math. The teachers in my daughters high school do virtually NO work outside the classroom. Their syllabus is usually prepared by the various departments and each teacher has one or two TA's for each class they teach. If a teacher arrives at 7:00 AM, they're out the door by 2:00; in at 8:00 they're out by 3:00. After 3:00 only admin and staff are still at the school except for extra curricular activities that earns the teachers overtime/bonus pay. How many people in private business put in a lot more hours each week for the same pay...and with better qualifications? |

Interesting! I wonder where you get this little tidbit? Since teachers are certified to teach in certain areas, you might have some shifting within that area (i.e. a math teacher teaching Algebra I one year and Geometry the next). That's a fairly limited transition, though. Usually, you can count on the same teachers for the same courses year after year. As for books, I'd be interested in hearing about school districts that can afford to completely replace their textbooks every three years.

No, she gets paid on a "level", that if she were to work as many days as the rest of us she would get paid over 50 a year. I 'wish' she got paid 50 a year.... She gets paid over $200 per school day including teacher work days. If she were to work the entire year like the rest of us that would be over 50K per year... as it is, it's under 40K, As to those who talk about the extra hours etc,.... find me a job that pays over 50K that pays you by the hour.... Unless it's a govt job or a Union specialty job, your going to put in more than 40 hours a week, AND work all year... -- ET "A common mistake people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools."---- Douglas Adams |
