All That Money Wasted on High Paid Public School Teachers!
This viral email is a complaint about all of those highly paid, and over paid public school teachers draining away our tax revenues.
Teachers’ hefty salaries are driving up taxes, and they only work 9 or 10 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. 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 on class work before or after school.
That would be $19.50 a day (7:45to 3:00 PM with 45 min. off for lunch and plan — that equals 6 1/2 hours). Each parent should pay $19.50 a day for these teachers to baby-sit their children.
Now how many do they teach in day…maybe 30? So that’s $19.50 x 30 = $585.00 a day. However, remember they only work
180 days a year!!! I am 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 Master’s 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 (nationwide) 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!)
Amazingly this was actually sent to me by one of those overly paid school teachers, that obviously felt guilty about the exorbitant salary she receives from the county where she teaches school. When I think about the good, that money could be going to like paying for a new football stadium, or giving a tax break to a big pig farming operation to work a few years, pollute the waters and leave town in the middle of the night, or how that money would be better spent if President Bush just had a little more money to invest spying on all of us Americans that are threatening the lives of hard working terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Those over paid school teachers should be ashamed of themselves!
School Teachers Should go back to being paid with room and board and apples!

Your $50,000 average is too high for my area – try $33,000 a year. You couldn’t pay me ENOUGH to do that job.
Gee wlileirks, that’s such a great post!
I wouldn’t disagree with you on that last part. My wife is a teacher and I couldn’t do what she does by a long shot (she’s a natural). Even with her Master’s Degree she makes just a little more than the amount you mention.
The $50k number is the number that was circulated with the viral email, and I suspect its a fluff number that comes from the people (usually at a local politics property tax fight level) that are the most vocal about holding teachers back.
