We can get that for minimum wage. That's right. Let's give them $3.00 an hour and only the hours they worked; not any of that silly planning time or any time they spend before or after school.
That would be $19.5......0... a .........day...... (7:45 to 3:00 with 45 min. off for lunch and planning.
That equals 6 1/2 hours).
Each parent should pay $19.50 a day for these teachers to babysit their children.
Now, how many students do they teach in a day... maybe 30? So that's $19.50 x 30 = $585.00 a day.
However, remember they only work 180 days a year! I'm not going to pay them for any vacations.
LET'S SEE ... That's $585 X 180 = $105,300 per year.
Hold on! My calculator needs new batteries.
What about those special education teachers and the ones with Masters degrees ?
Well, we could pay them minimum wage ($7.75), and just to be fair, round it off to $8.00 an hour.
That would be $8 X 6 1/2 hours X 30 children X 180 days = $280,800 per year.
Wait a minute --there's something wrong here! There sure is! The average teacher's salary (nation wide) is $50,000. $50,000/180 days = $277.77/per day/30 students = $9.25/6.5 hours = $1.42 per hour per student --a very inexpensive baby sitter and they even EDUCATE your kids!! WHAT A DEAL!!
