Uhn huh....
And what of the bene’s they don’t pay for or contribute to such as Insurance, Dental/Eye care, retirement and cash bonuses?
For some odd reason those are never included in their overall pay package.
Why didn’t I go into teaching?
Not bad for 9 mos. work. That works out to approx. $7k per month or $44 an hour for a 40 hour week. And this is NOT including medical benefits, retirement, etc.. Not a bad gig.
I actually don’t have a problem with that salary IF the teachers are actually competent and doing their job.
It’s the fact that these unions grant lifetime protection to lazy incompetents that really frosts me.
.02, It’s likely not a problem with teacher salary (even with benefits factor). Multiple layers of administrative staff at higher salaries bumps the total cost of deucation higher. Bet for those 100k+ teachers (actual working folks) there is a 10% number of additional folk whose total salaries are very close to the total amount paid the teachers.
Don’t have numbers, just a gut concept of beuracracies.
