You have a serious personal stake in this dont you pal..I can feel your anger from here..I worked in the private sector for years so shut the hell up first of all.
And you acuse me of being angry. Really, I am not the least bit angry. If you think I sound angry it is likely because you don't like what you are hearing that teachers are overpaid when compared to nearly every other working American. I have not interjected any irrational emotion into this discussion.
I have also not assigned any false motives to it as you asume of me.
What do you do for a living pal?Or is it a matte rof now that the public paid for YOUR kids to go to school you dont want your money goin gto pay for the next generation of kids..You sound like some off the wall postal type for some reason there bro..hummmmmmmmmmm
Society gets a benefit from the eductation of children. But that is not the issue here or what we are discussing. You are trying to change the subject. What we are talking about is how much money is necessary to properly educate children.
Let's stay on subject OK? And try to keep your emotions out of it.
You are lost man ..Ok , lets pay teachers $200 a week to start .
I seriously dont think you have a clue what people make in the private sector..Anyone with a Masters degree in MOST other areas after 30 year with the SAME company will make a hell of a lot more than 90K ..For the 3rd tim e, the average teacher in my state makes 40k a year .If you think that's a LOT of money then I have a feeling you're from some country where they pay people a dollar a day .YES , you are righ tthere are some teachers a VERY smal percentage who make a lot of money .I'm sure I could find some truck drivers who make WAY abouve the norm too. Most teachers I kno wwork all summer because they can't afford the 2 months off. MOST do ..Some guy up there 20/25 years have finally made enough to take the time . We DONT get compensation . I have to use sick days and then I DONT get paid at all. A 6 year teacher friend I know justy got over a somewhat serious illness. She couldn't work for 2 months ..She had 22 sick day and went without $$$ after that . I work an easy 50 hour week so I make up for the holidays off . Whyam I bothering ..Ther are few jobs as important as teaching . If you dont see that I can't help you out..Again , you have a real problem that goes beyond discussion here.
