Here is the REAL TRUTH behind the OUT-OF-CONTROL public education SALARIES which YOU AND I are paying with our tax dollars....HERE
Thanks for your reply. My wife is also a teacher of special ed K-2. She comes home every weekday afternoon tired.
You did not answer the other question I asked about teachers working during their summer breaks.
The age of supplemental summer employment is long gone. Obama made sure those jobs disappeared first.
Just what are they really higher than ~
Your liberal sympathies are noted. I meant what I said and I said what I meant. If you can’t comprehend you probably are the product of a public school system.
Syllogism Analogy FAIL
Democrats do squeal about bloated plutocrats and evil corporations ~ failure to KNOW THAT suggests you may be from DU or something.
You go to the NYSE floor and the salaries there are appreciably higher than salaries you and I probably can't even dream about, but the question is are they appreciably higher than the salaries paid to floor traders in other exchanges.
Demanding absolutely equal outcomes irrespective of education, age, opportunity and experience is a Communist Party policy. We must use something more complex than Marxist cant to figure this out. I sure don't want to pay teachers more than they're worth, but I don't want to send them to the hog farm for punishment either.
That'd be a waste of the teachers' time, and it might frighten the piggies giving next month's bacon a funny taste!
Tax public sector wages and benefits that are not in line with the private sector. Use the money for property tax relief or aid to private sector benefits.

My kids go to a little Catholic school, where they are receiving a fantastic education from licensed, degreed teachers who, I can guarantee you, are not pulling down $30,000+ a year in fringe benefits.
bttt
Frankly, I don’t know what Catholic school school teachers make. There could be some benefits we don’t know about too.
I really don’t see the point in the bureaucrats. The parents and teachers use to decide on the curriculum, that’s the way it should be. The buses and buildings, I’m not so sure you can do without.
We live rural, along the Yukon. We don't even leave our place for weeks at a time, work in garden, go out on the river set nets for kings, do all the summer chores in the 24 hr sun. We couldn't ever live a fast pace life again; kinda like the going back in time feeling. Life is quite good.
There is a lot of waste in the school systems. It is not only the administrators and teachers that are costing too much. That was the point I was trying to make.

I’m sure there is. When I look at teachers salaries they don’t look outrageous I guess it’s more their retirement and insurance. Looks like most places the tax payers pay for most or all of that.
Heres the website: http://teacherportal.com/salary/Wisconsin-teacher-salary
Seems that on average teacher to student ratio is 1 teacher for every 14.7 students. I heard O'Rielly say that when he went to Catholic School he had 60 students in his calls to one Nun. But, those Nuns you don't mess with...lol Looks like Wisconsin could lay off some teachers. By half?
They could cut the number of teachers in half in Wisconsin if they truly have a 14.7:1 ratio, but the big savings would come from cutting out the plethora of useless administrators that school systems now employ. I wonder what the student to administrator ratio is now, as compared to 30 years ago.
