SICK OF THOSE HIGH PAID TEACHERS

Maybe some of you have already received this one, but it's still
rather poignant.

SICK OF THOSE HIGH PAID TEACHERS?

I, for one, am sick and tired of those high 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's 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. But remember they only work 180
days a year! I'm not going to pay them for any vacations or snow
days. Let's see. . . that's 585 x 180 = $105,300.00 (Hold on! My
calculator must need batteries!)

What about those special teachers or 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!
